The re-inspection feature in Spectora is designed to make follow-up inspections seamless and efficient. Whether you need to verify that previously noted issues have been resolved or you are conducting a periodic re-inspection, this feature will help you streamline the process.
By utilizing the re-inspection feature, you can provide thorough and professional follow-up inspections, ensuring your clients receive the highest level of service and up-to-date information about their property.
How to Write a Re-Inspection Report on the Web
When creating a re-inspection report, you will follow a similar format as a regular report, but with a few variations. The sections, items, and comments you have access to will be specific to the defects you selected during the re-inspection scheduling process we previously discussed.
The comment will include your original findings and any photos you took. If the issue has been resolved, you can simply check the "Resolved" option and add a new photo to document the update. If the defect is still unresolved, you can leave the "Resolved" option unchecked.
You can also update the Header Text to better reflect your re-inspection service by clicking the report name > Header Text. Check out this article for more details on how to update this.

Click "Edit" under the Reinspection Report.
Open the defect comment.
If the defect has been fixed, select the "Resolved" option. If the issue hasn't been resolved, leave the comment as unresolved.
Add your updated photo by adding it into the "Drag Updated Photos here" box, or by using the "+Photo" option.
How to Write a Re-Inspection Report on the App
When writing a re-inspection report on the app, defects comments will automatically default to "unresolved" or a thumbs down. You can change this by tapping on the thumb icon, which makes it easy to toggle back and forth between "unresolved" or "resolved". And don't forget, you can also add or take photos just like you normally would.
🔴 Please be aware that re-inspections conducted on Legacy cannot be finalized on Next Gen and vice versa. If you encounter an error stating that the inspection is incompatible, you will need to convert the re-inspection to the same form used for the original inspection.
