Templates

Templates allow for the customization of inspection lists, and the pre-filling of report fields. Once saved, they are available for selection when creating a new report, and in any report's General tab.

Templates are critical to an efficient inspection workflow on-site. Eneris allows for easy customization of templates and includes the most commonly used templates in US and Canadian markets to help you get started quickly.

Clicking the Merge Template button in any report's General tab will update the template with any updates made since the report was created, but will not overwrite report data.
