Mobile reports for Resco Inspections

Traditionally, inspections often involved a lot of paperwork - part of it in the field, and then again in the office, producing a report. Resco Inspections is designed to perform the entire inspection process without any paper documents, however, in many scenarios, it is desirable to finish the inspection with a report, a document that can be sent to your manager or end customer. Fortunately, Resco Inspections allows you to generate such reports directly on your device, immediately after concluding an inspection.

Resco Inspections comes with a generic report available automatically for all questionnaires, and it includes a powerful tool for designing custom mobile reports, the Report Designer. However, even if you are already familiar with the mobile reports in Resco, the unique data structure of questionnaires can sometimes complicate things.

Automatic report

The demo data includes the automatic report, a generic default report for any questionnaire. This report can be made available in the app without any additional configuration using Report Designer. Automatic reports are only available for the standalone Resco Inspections product.

Custom report

While editing a questionnaire using Questionnaire Designer, you can use the Mobile Report button to open the Report Designer. This function will take the questionnaire structure and convert it into a custom report with the same structure. This new report is also linked to the questionnaire.

Alternatively, you can start Report Designer, create a brand new report from scratch, and link it to a questionnaire manually.
