Report Writing

[lms]

Has anyone had experience with the ISN Cloudinspect program or their eInspections software? Good or bad?

[Trent Tarter]

Look at their sample reports, outdated check list style, unprofessional in my opinion.

I don't have experience beyond seeing ISN's report format. It's lousy.

The support services part is nice if you aren't particularly computer savvy, or if you're running a basic HI service operation.

Please help me with methods to protect report's content.

I send mine out as a PDF with a password that only allows printing, no copying or editing.

Don't send it to anyone!

Don't send it to anyone!

That's funny.

I usually lock the PDF.

What do you lock it with? Password protected?

Locking, limiting PDFs is kind of pointless. If anyone wants to break the code it is quite easy.

Albeit the companies keep making the locks better there are multiple apps out there that can scan and unlock them.

I've used a number of them over the years.

Best way is what Scott suggested: "Don't send the report to anyone."

I lock my FHA Compliance Reports with Adobe Acrobat 11 for Mac.

I don't see a need to lock my pdf inspection reports.

Lock, as in no one can edit or make changes. I forget to lock them most of the time.

In Finder, select the file, hit "Command I", the info window comes up, there's a selection for locking it.

My reports are delivered in HTML format, user name and password protected. I get email notifications when reports are viewed by clients/Realtors and if forwarded to third party.

Can the client save or print out the report for his records?

Yes clients can print report and can save them as a PDF if they want to. Reports come through much better in HTML, pictures enlarge when clicked on.
