How ReportHost works

ReportHost is a combination of "web-based" software, and ReportHost Pro, our software for tablet PCs or laptops.  If you have a tablet PC or a laptop you can use ReportHost Pro to record your findings during inspections, otherwise use field notes printed from your customizable templates.  The chart below shows the steps for producing reports:

 
With ReportHost Pro   With printed field notes
  • With an internet connection, download the current version of your templates from the ReportHost website to your tablet PC or laptop.  You only need to do this the first time you use ReportHost Pro, or when you make changes to your customizable templates.
  • With no internet connection needed, start a new report by choosing which template to use and entering the client name and property address.
  • Delete report sections and create addition copies of sections if needed.   For example, delete the "Private well" section and make two copies of the "Water heater" section.
  • Record your findings with ReportHost Pro's easy to use tabbed interface.  Select items that apply, fill in values where needed, and change text if needed.
  • At the end of the inspection, save the report and review your findings with your clients.
  • With an internet connection, upload your report from your tablet PC or laptop to ReportHost's website.  This takes just a moment.
 
  • While logged in to the ReportHost website, choose the "Print field notes" option, and print field notes for your inspection.  You can choose which report sections to include in your field notes, and print multiple copies of any section. For example, you can omit the "Private well" section and print two copies of the "Water heater" section.
  • While at the inspection, record your findings on your field notes by circling items that apply and filling in values where needed.
  • At the end of the inspection, review your findings with your clients.
 
------ Then ------

With either ReportHost Pro or your printed field notes
  • Log on to the ReportHost website with a web browser.
  • Resize your digital pictures and upload them to the ReportHost website.
  • Write captions for pictures if desired.
  • Insert arrows or circles in pictures to highlight areas if desired.
  • Edit your report title and select one or more pictures for the title.

------ Then ------

With ReportHost Pro   With printed field notes
  • Assign your digital pictures to specific report items, and spell check your report.
 
  • Write your report by transcribing what you recorded on your printed field notes to our web forms.  Select digital pictures for specific items.  Change text of items if needed.  Add or delete items if needed.
 
------ Then ------

With either ReportHost Pro or your printed field notes
  • Publish your report.
  • Deliver your report by sending a link in an email or printing it.


Which way is better?

There are pros and cons to using both ReportHost Pro and printed field notes.  With printed field notes, there's no software to install, and you can use any computer with an internet connection and a modern web browser such as MS Internet Explorer.  This can work very well for new inspectors, students, or anyone just wanting to see what ReportHost is like.

ReportHost Pro's main advantage is that it greatly reduces the time needed to produce reports.  With ReportHost Pro, once you've completed the inspection you just need to process your digital pictures, spell check, and make final edits before publishing.  The report is basically written by the time you leave the inspection.
