Instead of adding the same comment several times, you can assign one or more location tags to a single observation, providing clear context while keeping your report concise. Location Tags are especially useful when documenting defects that occur in multiple places, such as slow drains, inoperative burners, damaged windows, or missing downspout extensions. #### Using Location Tags After adding an observation on the mobile app: 1. Open the observation. 2. Tap the **Tags** button near the top of the toolbar. 3. Select one or more predefined location tags. 4. Save the observation. Multiple tags can be applied to a single observation, allowing you to document every affected location while maintaining a single comment. #### Creating Custom Location Lists Location Tags are fully customizable. From the desktop application, navigate to **Settings > Observation Tags** to create your own tag categories. Many inspectors organize their tags into groups such as: * Appliance Locations * Bathroom Locations * Interior Locations * Exterior Locations * Building or Structure Locations These lists are synchronized to the mobile app, making them available during your inspection. #### Best Practices * Use Location Tags whenever the same defect is present in multiple locations. * Create tag categories that match your inspection workflow and the types of properties you inspect. * Collapse tag groups that are not currently needed to make it easier to find the locations you use most often. * Keep your location names consistent so reports remain easy for clients to read and understand. Using Location Tags reduces duplicate observations, keeps summary pages cleaner, and provides clients with precise information about where each defect was observed. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.scribeware.com/advanced-workflows/location-tags-on-mobile.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
