One of the options available in ‘Settings’ in the InspectARide app is ‘Auto Open Note’. This option is all about saving time. If this is checked, then anytime you select a rating for an item that is set to go to a summary then the program will automatically open the ‘Note’ section for that line. An example of this is with our Basic template which comes with the software by default. Any item you mark with the ‘Poor’ rating is set to go to the summary. This means anytime you mark an item as poor the ‘Note’ section will pop up.
The time savings come in from the fact that most of the time (if not all of the time) you assign a rating that is set to go to a summary, this particular item has an issue or something that needs to be talked about. Since this is the case, instead of having to tap on the ‘Note’ button to pull it up so you can talk about what the issue is, the program does it for you. You tap the rating, tap on one of your common notes and you’re ready to move on.
Now, this is something that many inspectors use but some prefer to have it turned off. That’s not a problem. To turn it off simply go into ‘Settings’ and uncheck the box and you’ll be all set.
