🔘Buttons

Perfect for when you want to use the same narrative comment more than one time in a report.

Buttons

Buttons provide a faster way to add content to your report by allowing you to insert the same comment or observation multiple times with a single click. Unlike traditional dropdown fields, which typically allow only one selection, buttons can be clicked repeatedly to create multiple entries. This makes them especially useful for components that may appear several times throughout a property.

Buttons become even more powerful when used with tables. For example, if a property has multiple water heaters, HVAC systems, or electrical panels, each click can create a new table entry, allowing you to document each component separately while keeping all of its styles, materials, observations, recommendations, and photos together in a single observation.

Creating Buttons

To display a field as buttons:

1. Edit the section containing the field.

2. Select the field you want to modify.

3. Under Display Options, enable Display as Buttons.

4. Save your changes.

The field will now appear as one or more clickable buttons instead of a dropdown list.

Design Considerations

• An entire field is displayed as either buttons or a dropdown. Individual items within the same field cannot be mixed.

• Buttons are ideal for fields where multiple entries are common.

• Consider combining buttons with text replacement, observation tags, or tables to create highly efficient inspection workflows.

Buttons can dramatically reduce repetitive data entry while making your report more organized and easier to complete, especially when documenting multiple instances of the same component.
