An inspection title is a unique way to identify a report. Over time, as you and your team conduct more inspections, it can become difficult to differentiate between them when they've been conducted from the same template. To ensure your inspections are uniquely named, you can create title formats or naming conventions for your inspections so that the title of an inspection populates automatically with responses from the title page.

Published changes made to templates only apply to new inspections moving forward.
