Where is the note feature? I am always losing track of my comments. I am going to be pissed if I didn't know that this would help me find them faster and I didn't know.

Oh, and Bob, you inspect like a little girl!! Wink

What the hell do you mean by that remark?

I was going to help you till I read that.
Dom is there a deduct Karma feature?

P.S only going on a diet will help you get faster.

This is for anyone other than Merino (do not read)
[[visual tag]] can be found by adding new comment as it is next to the new list and (recall) feature.

Jeffrey,
You were right-on on the testing before you buy. Thank you for the information about checking into renting.
If anyone else would like to know, Jeff recommended to rent first and see if you would like it instead of spending your hard earned money. I checked with a Rental Center and they will rent me an ACER, not sure of the model yet, for $23. per week, no contract.

Bob,
Thanks for your help, I will be out for awhile, but in a month or so God willing I will try all your recommendations and let everyone know, about the new trials and the rental of the Tablet, if any would be interested.

No problem Steve.
If you are getting the phone anyway just test on that first as the Android tablet will run the same.
Get a Kindle Fire or a nice low price option if going that rout.

As far as windows tablets go I am seeing some nice feedback on the Acer Icona.(hope I spelled it right).

Try and help Mike.M out if you get a chance as he is learning how to inspect and hopes to turn pro some day...lol

Hey ,do not worry young fella we will get you that 3rd inspection and if you need website help give me a call.

Once you learn to use the software you will find there is a add comment box which has a option called add note.
This is actually called a visual tag now (Nick name though note or text tag would be cool)) as it is not really a note and if you add any text inside the [[note/tag]]it will not show in the report but will show during creation inside your comments to help tag canned comments and make them easy to find.

I don't have that on my PC version or the MAC version? Is that in the latest version? I have 3.0.7 on the MAC and 2.9.0 on the PC.

OK, what update did I miss? I think I have the latest on the MAC.

Hey Bob, what kind of dress do you wear on your inspections?

The dresses keep clients from climbing up the ladder behind you. It is a liability risk management technique!!

You mentioned the dresses but what about the update that I may have missed? Did I miss one? I have 3.0.7 on the MAC and 2.9.0 on the PC. Should I have that function Bob is talking about in those versions?

Bobs using a Beta version.  It's not public yet.  I can send you a copy if you'd like.

So that feature is in the BETA? You can send it if you want. But if I load the BETA, can I still use the other version?

Because BETA can have issues sometimes. I am not good with issues. I leave them to the pros like you and Dom to hammer out. I only do website issues.

There are no issues and you can always save a original copy.

Desktop Beta has been around a long time as I mentioned but I could have sworn [[notes]] has been around for almost a year.

My real issue is that I am not as familiar with the report program as you or some other guys are. I would trade building a website for someone if they would build me a really good template. I use your template, but I want to change a few things, but I never get around to it.

Then you should just wait but check the message board for all the talk on changes.

I have made minor changes myself but the basic template has the required systems in it and I have just begun after all this time (at least 6mo) to use the tags however the mobile version actually features search as you type tempting me to really like it.
