What's Not Included in the Work Order

While most of the key information for the inspection is listed in the work order, there are a few things that are not included. In this section, you'll see what information is not included in the work order.

  • Internal Box

    • The "Internal" box holds important information such as custom scheduling fields. These fields may be set up to capture lock box codes, alarm codes, or other information.
      ​


      ​

  • Closing Date

    • While the closing date does show on the Inspection Details page and the client portal, it does not show on the work order.
      ​


      ​

  • Inspection Events (Advanced Users)

    • Inspection Events that are tied to the inspection, like Radon Pick-Ups or Drop-offs will not show on the work order.
      ​


      ​

  • Associated Tasks (Advanced Users)

    • Tasks set up by company admins for things like follow-ups, refunds, or other inspection-related duties do not show on the work order.
      ​


      ​

  • Office Notes (Advanced Users)

    • Office notes are used by office staff to record information about the inspection or property, typically shared by the agents. These notes are separate from the Inspector Notes and do not show on the work order.
      ​


Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I customize the work order so it includes the information I want?

    • Unfortunately, the work order cannot be customized.
      ​

  • Why isn't the "Internal" box included in the work order?

    • The "Internal" box is primarily meant for internal use for inspectors and support/office staff. Because that information is not visible to the client/agent in the portal, it is not included in the work order.
