Share inspection report links
Learn how to share, create, and disable inspection report links via the web app and the mobile app.
What are inspection report links?
Inspection report links are public links or URLs that you can create for each inspection report and share with anyone so that they can view the report on a web browser. Unlike an inspection report's PDF or Word export, which includes the data at the time of exporting, viewing the report via a link offers a real-time view. This means updates made to the inspection are reflected via the report immediately, without the need to export it again.
This article is unrelated to template and inspection access. Instead, it's another way to share inspection reports for stakeholders to view.
What you'll need
If you have report layouts created for your inspection reports, you can apply a report layout to an inspection report link by setting it as the default layout.
If you turn inspection report links off for your organization, you won't be able to create and share inspection report links.
Share an inspection report link
Select Inspections from the menu on the left-hand side.
Click View report to the right of the inspection. For incomplete inspections, click to reveal the option.
Click Share on the upper-right of the page.
In the pop-up window, enter the user's email address and click Share by email.
In the pop-up window, ensure that the correct email is entered and click Add email. You can also add additional email addresses at this stage.
Click Done.
If needed, add a note to provide more context to the inspection report link and click Share to send the inspection report link in an automated email.
Create an inspection report link
Select Inspections from the menu on the left-hand side.
Click the inspection and click Share in the side panel.
Click Create and copy link. If there's an existing link, click Copy link.
Open the mobile app.
Tap Inspections at the bottom of your screen.
Select In Progress & Complete tab at the top of your screen.
Tap the inspection report and select View & export report or View & download report from the pop-up options.
In the report, tap or at the upper-right corner of your screen.
Select Copy link or Save web report link from the pop-up options.
Select the sharing method and proceed accordingly.
Disable an inspection report link
Select Inspections from the menu on the left-hand side.
Click the inspection and click Share in the side panel.
In the pop-up window, click Disable link.
You can also turn off inspection report links for your entire organization, instead of turning them off individually for each report.
Limitations
Once an inspection report link is disabled, the following link that is created will be a new link, rather than reactivation of the old one. This means you would need to share the new link again for stakeholders to view.
Inspection report links don't support archived inspections.
