# Generate Professional Inspection Reports with InspectIQ

> Create polished, branded inspection reports from your completed inspections and deliver them to clients as a PDF or a secure online link.

InspectIQ turns your inspection data into professional, client-ready reports with a single tap. Once you've completed an inspection, the platform compiles your findings, photos, and recommendations into a structured document that reflects your brand and meets industry standards. You can deliver reports as a secure online link or a downloadable PDF — no extra software required.

## What a Report Contains

Every report generated in InspectIQ includes the following sections:

* **Cover Page** — Your business logo, inspector name, property address, inspection date, and client details.
* **Executive Summary** — A high-level overview of the inspection outcome, including the total number of findings and their severity breakdown.
* **Findings by Area** — All observations and defects, organised by the areas you inspected (e.g. Roof, Electrical, Plumbing). Each finding includes your description, severity rating, and any attached photos.
* **Photo Gallery** — A compiled gallery of all photos captured during the inspection, with captions.
* **Recommendations** — Prioritised action items for the client, drawn from your findings.

## Available Report Formats

InspectIQ supports two delivery formats:

* **PDF** — A fully formatted document you can download, print, or attach to an email.
* **Online Link** — A secure, mobile-friendly report your client can view in any browser without needing to download anything or create an account.

## Generate a Report

Once you've marked an inspection as complete, follow these steps to generate your report:

**1. Open the work order**

From the **Dashboard** or **Jobs** list, tap the completed work order you want to generate a report for.

**2. Go to the Reports tab**

Inside the work order, tap the **Report** tab to open the report panel.

**3. Review your findings**

Check that all findings, photos, and area summaries are complete. Any incomplete sections will be flagged before generation.

**4. Generate the report**

Tap **Generate Report**. InspectIQ will compile your data and apply your report template. This usually takes a few seconds.

**5. Preview and confirm**

Review the report preview to make sure everything looks correct before sending it to your client.

## Preview Before Sending

Before you deliver a report to your client, always use the **Preview** button to review the full report as your client will see it. The preview shows the exact layout, formatting, and content — including your logo, colours, and any disclaimer text. If you spot an error, you can go back to the inspection, make your edits, and regenerate the report.

## Customise Your Report Template

You can tailor how your reports look to match your business brand. From **Settings → Business Settings → Report Templates**, you can:

* **Upload your logo** — Appears on the cover page and page headers.
* **Set brand colours** — Used for headings, section dividers, and highlights throughout the report.
* **Add a disclaimer or footer text** — Appears at the end of the report (e.g. your standard limitation of liability clause).
* **Choose a default template layout** — Select from InspectIQ's built-in template styles.

> [!TIP]
>
> Set up your report template in **Business Settings** before you run your first inspection. A branded, consistent report makes a strong impression on clients and looks more professional than a generic layout.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Changes to your report template only apply to reports generated after the change is saved. Previously generated reports keep their original formatting.
