About cover pages in Inspection Manager
Cover pages add a branded first page to your inspection reports. In Inspection Manager, cover pages are configured in the CMS (web) under Settings.
Before you start
You need access to the Inspection Manager CMS Settings area
The Cover Page tab only appears after you enable Enable Cover Image Template in Reporting settings
Enable the cover page feature (cover image template)
To make cover page templates available, first enable the Reporting setting that turns on cover image templates. Once enabled, the Cover Page tab appears in Settings.
Go to: Settings
In General Settings, scroll to the Reporting section
Turn Enable Cover Image Template to ON
Scroll back to the top and confirm the Cover Page tab is now visible
Note: If you cannot see the Reporting section or the toggle, permissions may be restricting access in your account.
Choose a cover page template and set the default behaviour
Once the Cover Page feature is enabled, you can pick a template and decide whether cover pages appear by default on reports.
Go to: Settings > Cover Page
To make cover pages appear automatically on reports, set Enable Cover Page As Default to ON
Under Set a Report Cover template, select Template 1, Template 2, or Template 3
Select Save
Note:
If Enable Cover Page As Default is OFF, you must enable the cover page for each report/inspection when needed
If Enable Cover Page As Default is ON, the cover page is included automatically unless you turn it off for a specific report
Turn the cover page on or off for a specific inspection (when default is OFF)
If your account default is OFF, Inspection Manager provides a cover page toggle on each inspection while editing so you can include it only when required.
Open the relevant inspection in the CMS
Switch the inspection to Edit mode
Find the Cover Page option and toggle it to YES to include the cover page for that report
Tip: Use this approach if you only want cover pages for certain report types, such as ingoing or outgoing reports.
Customise what appears on the cover page (fields, colours, and photo)
You can control which details appear and adjust the look and feel using colour codes or the colour picker in the Cover Page settings.
Go to: Settings > Cover Page
In the left panel, turn each item ON or OFF depending on what you want shown:
Office Name
Office Address
Property Address
Tenant Details
Property Manager Details
Background Colour
Property Manager Photo
For colour styling, enter a hex colour code (for example, #ffffff) or use the colour picker
Select Save after making changes
Select OK in the success confirmation pop-up window
Tip: If your branding guidelines specify exact colours, use hex codes to match them precisely.
