It is important to note that you will need to complete your reports on a mobile device. You can make additional edits and double check the report before publishing on the web after you have completed the report onsite.
We recommend watching this demo before reading the article to get a feel for the flow of report writing on the app:
Set Up Your Preferences
Before starting your first inspection, take a moment to configure your app settings:
Set Your Preferences:
Go to the Settings tab in the app.
Adjust settings like auto-syncing, annotation, and app theme to suit your needs.
Step-by-step Process:
Download the Spectora App from the App Store or Google Play Store.
Schedule an inspection on your account using the +New Inspection button on your Dashboard on the web browser.
Once you have an inspection scheduled for today, swipe down on your Dashboard on the App, and it will update with today's inspection.
Tap on the inspection, slide up the blue "Reports" bar, then click "Start" on the report you want to edit:
Begin writing your report!
Add a location tag, copy a comment, delete, flag for later, take photos, take videos, or add photos from your device gallery within each comment:
Use the arrow > button at the bottom right corner of your screen to move to the next Section or Item in order:
Select the Defect button and scroll down to reveal your defect comments for the Item:
Swipe left on any Section or Item to Delete or Duplicate:
Click into the comment to Delete or Duplicate/Copy
To add an Optional Section or Optional Item, click the +Section or +Item, then click +Add Optional Section/Item. These have to be set up in Templates. Here's how to set up optional sections and items.
When you're done editing your report, navigate back to the main inspection page and click on the blue cloud icon. This will pull up your sync queue, where you can sync all data from the app to the web.
If you have Automatic Syncing enabled in your app settings this will happen automatically. If you do not, you'll need to follow these steps to manually sync!
Click the wrench icon to view the inspection on your mobile web browser.
Click the paper airplane icon to publish if you are completely done and wish to publish to the client and agent on-site.
Click the + sign to also view the inspection on your mobile web browser.
Click the down arrow with the lines icon to re-arrange your reports.
Click the cloud icon to pull up your sync queue where you can sync, retry media upload, send debug information and recover missing uploads.
