🗺️Directions to Your Job

Using the ScribeWare link to directions is a great way to ensure your template is loaded and you will all be working on the same job if you work in teams.

Load Your Template Before Leaving for an Inspection

Overview

Before heading to an inspection, it's a good idea to open the job and load your inspection template while you still have an internet connection. Although ScribeWare automatically stores templates on your device whenever possible, there may be situations where a template has not been downloaded yet. Loading it before you leave helps ensure you'll be able to work even if you lose cell service at the property.

A simple way to confirm your template has been loaded is to use the built-in Open Map feature to navigate to the inspection.

Directions

1. Open the inspection job in ScribeWare.

2. If the job was imported from a scheduling system (such as Keystone), open the job as you normally would.

3. Apply your inspection template.

   • Select the template you want to use.

   • Wait for the template and library to finish loading completely.

4. Return to the Client & Property Information page.

5. Tap the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner.

6. Select Open Map.

   • ScribeWare will open your default mapping application with directions to the property.

7. Use the map to navigate to the inspection.

Why This Workflow Is Recommended

Using Open Map before leaving serves two purposes:

• It confirms that your inspection template has already been downloaded to your device.

• It provides turn-by-turn directions to the property without requiring you to manually enter the address.

This is especially helpful for multi-inspector companies. When every inspector opens the job, loads the template, and launches navigation from ScribeWare before heading out, everyone is much more likely to have the report fully synchronized before arriving on site.

If an inspector waits until arriving at a property with poor or no cellular service, there is a chance the template or report cannot finish syncing. Loading everything before you leave helps prevent those issues and ensures you're ready to begin the inspection immediately.
