Are you ready to dive into Version 10 (Next Gen) but have inspections scheduled? You can easily convert those existing inspections over. Keep reading to see how!

If you're seeing a message in your Version 10 app (Next Gen) stating "Incompatible Inspection," this means you're trying to access an inspection that was built for the older Version 9 (Legacy) app.

This is because our two apps Version 9 (Legacy) and Version 10 (Next Gen) are not cross-compatible, which means reports built for one app are not accessible in the other. To access that inspection in the Version 10 app, you'll need to convert it via the web.
​

🚨Warning: Converting inspections to Version 10 (Next Gen) from the original app will require deleting any active reports on the inspection and adding in a new report after converting, this includes reports containing any data.

It is recommended to only do this on inspections you have not started the report, have not entered any data yet, or have very little data entered that you don't mind losing!

How to Convert an Inspection to Version 10 (Next Gen):

  1. Click on the inspection from your dashboard

  2. Click the 3 dots to the right of the report name

  3. Click "Delete"

  4. Click "Delete" to confirm

  5. Click "More" at the top of the page

  6. Click "Convert to Version 10 (NextGen)" in the dropdown menu

  7. Click "+New" in the Reports Box

  8. Select your template from the dropdown menu

  9. Click "Add Report"

πŸ’‘ Quick tip: Click on the video above to expand it in another window.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • I made a copy of an old report, and it's not showing up in my app. What's going on?

    • If the original report was done with the Version 9 (Legacy) app, and the copy is set for Version 10 (Next Gen), you won't be able to access it. Because the two apps are not cross-compatible, you can't have a Version 9 report copied over to a Version 10 inspection.
      ​

  • Why isn't my reinspection report showing up on the Version 10 app?

    • You'll want to double-check that the original report was done in Version 10 as well. If the original report was done with Version 9, you won't be able to create and access the reinspection report in Version 10. Reinspection reports need to use the same app as the original report.
