Templates are fundamental to how SwiftReporter structures your reports. They act as blueprints, defining the layout, standard content, and organisation of your final inspection report.
Purpose of Templates:
- Consistency: Ensure all your reports follow a standardised format.
- Structure: Define the main categories and subcategories that will appear in the report and their order.
- Pre-defined Content: Can include standard introductory text, summaries, disclaimers, and libraries of common "Comments" (pre-written observation descriptions) that you can quickly add during an inspection.
- Efficiency: Save time by pre-populating common report sections and providing quick-add comments.
When you start a new inspection, you will typically select a template to use. This choice dictates how the information you gather (observations, photos, audio) will be organised and presented when you generate the report.
