TOPIC: Updating Template from several same day inspections

Dom, I had 5 inspections this past weekend and I pre-loaded all the routine (normals) information for each inspection on Friday with my latest updated template. I understand that each time I download each inspection to my desktop and save the template it?s only saving the revised Friday template for that inspection and not continuously updating the template with each inspection.

Running: PC 4.0.7 and Mobil 4.0.1

I know some have said that they take notes and then when finished with all desktop inspections they update their template with the added/different information from each inspection.

I?m trying to figure out an easier way: Can I create a ?TEST? inspection and merge all inspections into it and save the template?  Last time I tried to merge I got duplicate info throughout my template.
Has anyone else tried this?

Yes you can definitely merge the inspections together. The right side (selected comments) could duplicate if you used the same comments but when you Save Template only the left side of the red/black is actually saved and those should not duplicate. Contact us to get HIP 4.2.5 in Beta as we made a lot of fixes to the merge feature.

Ok, I created a "testmerge" inspection. Merged one of the four inspections I did that day. When i went to merge another one the program locked-up. Thought maybe because of images so I deleted all images because I am just wanting to update narratives. Tried it again...program locked-up.
How many inspections can you merge into one?

By the way I made copies of inspections I wanted to merge as to not mess with original ones and just merged the copies.

yeah ,, I also tested the merge thing and 2 things I noticed , I also had program lock up and new comments did not merge from imported/merged inspection on left side , only comments on the right side cam over

If you have comments with lots of asterisks in them there's currently an issue where that messes up the pattern matching and could cause HIP to hang. We're looking into that right now.

The comments on the right only stay currently. That was on purpose as guys complained early on they didn't want their templates changed permanently from comments their partners made. We can look into making this an option though, configurable at each import.

Had an inspection today merge did not work in 4.2.5....Switched back to 4.0.7 everything merged.
