In the Web Report Writer, descriptions, disclaimers, and comments live outside of the template in the Global Library. This way, they can be associated with specific templates. This article covers how to show or hide descriptions, disclaimers, and comments in your template so they can be accessed when writing an inspection report.
If you want to add and edit your descriptions, disclaimers, or comments, please visit Web Writer: Global Library. This is suggested as the starting place before jumping in and editing your template.
