Customising Templates – Covering all kinds of property inspections

Templates allow you to setup custom pre-filled reports to fill in the blanks when you get to the property, or set up the formats your or your inspectors should work to.

Navigate to Settings > Templates to add or edit templates for your account.

Click Add Template to create your own template from blank.

Create Template

Templates can be automatically selected or recommended at the time of booking based on the type of inspection, property size and furnishing level. 

To help you get started we’ve pre-loaded a couple of sample templates in to your account when you registered. You can edit these if you want, or create your own!

To edit a template, click on the template name in the Templates list.
