Today’s inspection tools should do more than keep up; they should help you work smarter. Automation is changing the way inspectors write inspection reports and manage their businesses, helping save time, reduce mistakes, and get more done without adding extra work.
That’s exactly why ISN’s newest report writer update is here. The Comment Library and Narrative Comment Support give you a better way to create, organize, and reuse standardized comments, while also making your reports easier to read.
Spend less time typing, more time inspecting
Rewriting the same comments again and again? Not anymore. With the ISN Comment Library, you can:
- Quickly insert pre-written comments with a click
- Keep reports clean, polished, and professional without extra effort
- Ensure consistency across your team while still allowing room for personalization
- Organize reusable comments in a central library – update once, and the change is live everywhere
- Access saved comments while building templates or writing reports
And because it’s all built into ISN, there’s no need to juggle tools or dig through old reports. Just find your saved comment, drop it in, and move on.
Reports your clients will actually read
And when it comes to how those comments appear in your reports? That’s where Narrative Comment Support comes in.
Narrative comments give you more flexibility and control by allowing drop-downs and input boxes within the comment itself. Instead of splitting details between descriptions and comments, everything lives in one clear, structured space. The result is a report that’s easier and faster for you to build and easier for clients to follow.
For example, you can create a narrative comment with inputs like this:
“The home’s plumbing system consists of [Copper/PEX/Other] pipes, which appear to be in [Good/Fair/Poor] condition. [Further action is/not] recommended.”
Just select the options or type in the specifics, and the report automatically builds a polished, complete sentence.
Here’s why it matters:
- More engaging for clients: Reports become stories about a home’s condition, not a scattered list of facts; clients understand findings the first time, reducing follow-up questions
- More professional and personalized: A polished, structured narrative makes your reports look more sophisticated – and makes you look like the expert you are
- Flexible for any inspector: Toggle between traditional checkboxes and narrative style based on your preference or your client’s needs
- Seamlessly integrated: Works with ISN’s existing report-writing tools, so there’s no added complexity – just better reports
Standardized reports, your way
While many inspectors may offer similar services, the difference is you and the tools you use. The Comment Library helps you keep your voice, while keeping things consistent.
New inspector on the team? They’ll have access to the same trusted comments. Want to stand out? Save well-written comments that match your reporting style. Need to move quickly? Use filters and categories to find what you need fast.
