New automatic comment; delete it!
Completed
This comment automatically appeared on my report today: <Visually observed the item, component or unit and if no other comments were made then it appeared to be functioning as intended allowing for normal wear and tear.> How do I get rid of it? There already is a green check mark in front of the item. In the Definitions section, the green check mark is defined as <No material issues have been found. One or more cosmetic issues may have been observed.>
Having the "Visually observed...." comment only creates unnecessary clutter to the report, making it bulky and harder to read. The power of this report format is ease of reading and ease of comprehension. This added "Visually observed..." comment makes for unnecessary clutter and repetition.

Official comment
The Automatic Comments have been removed with the release that came out on 09/01/21. That included getting the numbers back into place and the concerns showing in the summary. N/A is still going through testing and should be out shortly.

Another new item that's a problem: Items in the Concerns Summary section at the top of the report are no longer numbered. They only have a dot. MANY times, when discussing items I refer to the item number to facilitate the discussion. Please add back the numbers in this section and remove the dots.

To continue my experience with this "Visually observed..." item: I had an inspection today with attached garage, no attic access between the two. I inspected the attached garage attic. The house scuttle was sealed, so I had to disclaim the house attic. One house; inspected only part of the attic. That "Visual observed..." comment created a lot of confusion. I ended up creating two Truss, Sheathing, Insulation sections; one for the garage and one for the house. Sure would have been much easier without that "Visually observed..." comment automatically being inserted. The Disclaimers I have would have allowed me to not have to duplicate so much, thus making for more report writing time and customer confusion. That's my take...l

Agree get rid of ""Visually observed the item...""
Concerns not numbered and lesser concerns are not list in the summary.. Why ?
All N/A items are now listed are "Not Applicable" in report... Why?
I made changes in web writer but not showing up in preview or published...

<Concerns not numbered and lesser concerns are not list in the summary.. Why ?>
<All N/A items are now listed are "Not Applicable" in report... Why?>
Totally agree!

<and lesser concerns are not list in the summary.. >
I made a support request on this issue (no items listed under Maintenance) and it's being addressed. Fridays inspection, still not resolved.

Sorry for the delayed response. My alerts were not set correctly and I missed these items. I will try to address the items listed here but it is hard when they are combined into a single thread.
Original Automatic Comment post:
Lesser Concerns missing from summary:- Actively working on getting this back into the summary
N/A Items showing on report:
- Actively working on removing these items; they were appearing due to descriptions being providing about the items
Bullets rather than Numbers:
- Looking into the request behind this one to determine the impact to switching back to numbers.
