Internal flags in your reports are super helpful for keeping your workflow in order. These flags are just for you to use and won't show up in the client view of the report. They help you pinpoint comments that need extra research, important writing, or more work off-site, making it easy for you to stay on top of tasks that need some extra attention.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is there a way to filter for flagged comments on the web editor?

  • During an inspection, I flagged a few items in the mobile app and want to work on these later at home on my laptop. Where do I locate all the items that I've flagged?

    • When you click on the report to edit it on the web, you'll see the flag icon on the Section then the Item, and then the Comment that is flagged.

  • Why don't the flags show when I preview/publish the report/on the client's view?

    • These flags are for internal use only and do not show up on the client view of the report. These are for comments that require more research, significant writing, or further work off-site.

  • Can I have preset flagged comments in my template?
