🧭Location Tags on Mobile

This is a fast way to add locations to findings on the mobile app

Using Location Tags on the Mobile App

Location Tags make it easy to identify exactly where a defect was found without creating multiple observations or duplicate summary items. 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.
