It is used in the Narrative report template to create separation, keeping background information separate from the report information in the Full Report. Have a look! {% embed url="" %} ## Show Next to Connected Field Value The **Show Next to Connected Field Value** option gives template designers complete control over where observations appear in a report. Instead of sending every observation to a single list at the bottom of a section, selected observation modifiers can display directly beneath the field they relate to, creating reports that are easier to read and faster to complete. For example, descriptive observations such as siding material information, limitations, or background details can appear immediately below the connected field, while repair recommendations and significant defects remain grouped in the observations section. This creates a clean separation between informational content and actionable items, making reports more intuitive for clients. This feature is also the foundation for an entirely different style of report design. By displaying observations next to their connected fields, template authors can build comprehensive sections that contain all of the information for an area of the inspection without requiring numerous subsections. Instead of navigating between separate Doors, Windows, Walls, Ceilings, Flooring, and Electrical sections, inspectors can document an entire room or unit from a single screen while each observation automatically appears beside the appropriate field. When combined with **Observation Tags**, this approach becomes even more powerful. Although all observations can be entered from one location, ScribeWare still organizes them into contractor-specific summary pages, allowing inspectors to maintain streamlined workflows without sacrificing report organization. This feature is particularly valuable for commercial inspections, where inspectors often repeat the same navigation for dozens of similar units. By keeping all related fields together on a single page, inspectors can move through each unit much more quickly while producing reports that remain organized and easy to understand. ### Benefits * Display observations directly beneath their related field instead of in a single observation list. * Separate descriptive information from repair recommendations for cleaner report presentation. * Build templates with fewer sections and significantly less navigation. * Create fast, mobile-friendly workflows where an entire room or unit can be completed from one screen. * Combine with Observation Tags to automatically organize findings by contractor or trade. * Reduce template complexity while maintaining highly organized reports. * Ideal for commercial inspections and other workflows where speed and efficiency are essential. The **Show Next to Connected Field Value** setting is one of ScribeWare's most flexible template design tools. Whether you're creating polished narrative reports or streamlined commercial inspection templates, it gives you complete control over how information is organized and presented to your clients. --- # 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/show-next-to-connected-field-value.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.
