Question: How do I upload a report to the ISN without eInspections™?
Answer: This video describes how to upload a non-eInspections™ PDF report to the ISN:

Since version 4.1.3 of the ISN you can upload any PDF report you want (regardless of the software you use)! You no longer need to use eInspections™ to have the benefit of using the ISN. Here is how you upload a report to the ISN without using eInspections™

Which report am I sending?

Question: If I upload more than one report to the ISN which one does it email out when I email a report?
Answer: The ISN always sends the most current report

One of the greatest business assets of the ISN is its ability to track and log every action. A major benefit of this is inspection revisions. The ISN will always allow you to continue uploading completed reports for the same inspection. Each report revision is accessible via the ISN at any time. However; when you email a report or download a report the ISN will grab the latest copy of the report.

For example, if you upload a report at 4:30PM for the property on 123 Oak Street and later at 4:45PM you upload changes to the report at 123 Oak Street the ISN will have saved both versions of the report. Finally; let us say you make additional changes to the report on 123 Oak Street and upload yet another revision at 4:55PM. When you click to email this report the ISN will send the version you uploaded at 4:55PM. Here is an illustration which may help clarify:

How do I place my report in a binder?

Many of our inspectors use a binder to wrap or contain their reports. The binders range from commercially purchased Home Inspection binders to the inexpensive binders you might find at OfficeMax, OfficeDepot or Staples.

To make your eInspections™ report binder ready you only need to change a few items in your company settings. To get started click on Customize and then on Company Settings:

Next, click on the Report Settings tab. We have found the best settings for a binder to be a margin setting of 50, 10, 10, 10 as shown here:

Your report will now have enough room to include in a binder:
