Desktop Report Writer 5.5.26

Open Report after Download Checkbox:

  • A new checkbox has been added to the download dialogs for both Reports and Appointments, visible with a tooltip.

  • The checkbox is enabled only when a single item is selected (indicated by the 'X' in the first column). When no items or multiple items are selected, the checkbox is disabled or ignored.

  • By default, the checkbox is enabled. Any changes made to its state will be saved and restored the next time the dialog is used.

  • The settings for the Report and Appointment dialogs will be saved separately.

Improved Comment Window Navigation:

  • When opening the Comments window, the focus now starts on the first comment, making it quicker to navigate and select comments with the keyboard.

  • Tab navigation has been improved across the product, making it easier to move between fields.

  • The Ctrl+A (Select All) shortcut now works in more areas, allowing faster selection in grids.

New "Edit All Comments" Feature:

  • Added a new function to easily navigate and edit all populated comments in a report, similar to the "Edit All Photos" feature. This feature allows inspectors to review and edit each non-blank comment in the report for improved accuracy before publishing. It also stops at items excluded from the report, providing a complete review experience. General Info comments and Overview headers/footers are not included in this function, as per customer request.

  • In the "Go" menu, two new options are available:

    • Edit All Comments From Start

    • Edit All Comments From Current

  • A new "Edit All Comments" option has been added to the Find dropdown in the main toolbar.

Improved Visual Indicators for Excluded Items:

  • Added visual cues (red border/header) in the comment editor to clearly show when inspection items in excluded sections are omitted from the report.

  • Items in excluded sections will now have a grey background in the inspection items list for easier identification.

Resolved Issues

  • Fixed the bug where "&" saved as a default and is an auto comment would break the form.

  • Fixed the bug where selecting Cancel for "Do you want to save changes to this report?" will close the software without saving the report.

  • Fixed an issue where the Find Unanswered tool would not proceed if there was a placeholder image for the cover image.

Inspector Dashboard

Resolved Issues

  • Fixed the bug causing Public Request Appointment emails not to be sent

  • Fixed the "Email is Required" bug in the Last Name field when adding customers to Appointments. for Public Appointment Requests.

  • We fixed a bug: When REPs schedule through ScheduleNow, they must add at least one customer. When customers schedule through ScheduleNow, they are not required to add a REP.
