So you're suggesting if you choose a certain item in a selection panel it would populate the damage panel red/black comment?

Exactly!  Something like a * in the selection panel links the selection to a * in the  red or black comments panel 

I have seen this feature in another program.

Cheers

I may have mentioned this before but I would like to see comments added automatically if certain observationas are made  like: a disclaimer I have in my template for thermopane windows. 
I select thermopane windows and the disclaimer appears in the comments without me having to select it.

Or when I select "house is vacant" cautionary verbage (I have in my comments) is added automatically

Cheers
Happy New Year

10  Web Site Design & SEO / Website Design Questions / changing menu names and adding pages on: December 21, 2008, 08:39:56 AM
 Embarrassed

I have been trying to change things around.  Wanted something introductory on the home page, then have menus for different inspections, Pre- listing, pre-purchase, home warranty etc with details about each type of inspection.

I followed the tutorial to create a new page and all went well till I got to the Menu settings
Tutorial says leave parent item set to Navigation---- but the parent item shows "Contact" only

Can't seem to make it go to Navigation? 

Don't see the new menu item at right side either even after refreshing.

Also in the URL path is it www.  (web page address) / name of page.html ?

Seems I need help every time I try a new step  Sheeeeesh

Some people are really picky I Guess...
I've never had a problem like that ...but in my neck of the woods there are not so many lawsuits.

Hi Roger

I deal with the bathrooms like Dom said (above) 

I like to provide specific info on the usual trouble spots so that is why I use seperate bathrooms/ kitchens with specific comments. That way the client knows isues found in each bathroom without trying to discover which one is bath #1 #2 etc.  As for half baths just leave out the items not present or indicate not present.

As for bedrooms-- there are not so many things to point out so I cover them and the living room, dining room den etc. in the "other interior areas" section, like window hardware inoperative in master bedroom or fog in thermopane window in living room.

Cheers

Hey David:

Thanks for the input I'll fix the typos
As for photos... I burn them to a CD and put it in the binder for the client.

I average about 30 inspections/ month sometimes 3 a day so I really don't want to take the time to add all the photos (OK... OK Dom... you say it won't take long)  However I have been told by several realtors that I am the only one in my area that prints on site and provides photos.  No body cares if they aren't  in the report.

I like the saying "if it ain't broke don't fix it."

At last!
Here is a sample report using my template.  This is a very boreing 2-3 year old home my son just bought. Not much to report butyou get the idea. I added the cover page photo.  The rest are just informational no real defects.  (others are on CD for the client)

The report is not glitzy and colourful but it is fast and easy to print, as I print on site.
