Saved default observations can also include links to images and diagrams so that you can automatically insert an diagram/image along with an observation.

New Photo Drop Manager inserts photos on the fly anytime into the document report.

• Form Updates
  
  New Form layout and extra fields added. Some state Standards of Practice (i.e. Arizona, South Carolina) require that inspectors comment on the condition of certain components. INSPECTEXPRESS forms have been updated to include condition statements for major components in both full and part narrative modes. These can be used by any inspector who wishes to describe the condition of the components as part of their inspection report. Other inspectors can hide these fields, not use them or customize them for other uses.

• Observation Lists
  
  Check box comments (observations) are now displayed in lists that can be added to as needed. Comments can be easily moved between lists or re-ordered for better organization of your comments. These length of these lists can also be extended to provide more accessible archiving of additional comments.
  
  Note: If you are using INSPECTEXPRESS for the Pocket PC you will also need to update your Pocket PC installation and export new mobile forms after this update so the new observation lists will be synchronized with your desktop version.
• Mobile
  
  INSPECTEXPRESS on the Pocket PC has been updated to include printing of a more complete report that includes both component descriptions and observations.
