TOPIC: HIP Formset map

HIP Formset map 9 years 3 months ago #61703

Does HIP have the ability to see and print your entire formset map in a PDF or equivalent. 3D has this feature so you can easily print the formsets and mark up for revisions, examine, etc.

I would go in to settings and Program setting/options and under Items option Check the box Print items even if no items are selected

No, I mean for me to print my entire inspection selections on paper so i can review before doing an inspection. This can allow me to review my verbiage, what im saying, make revisions/deletions,etc, so I can move things around in HIP. Its like taking a new template and reviewing on paper.

Hi Greg,

This would be about 300 pages on our default template as there's thousands of narratives in there!

Greg...I am very familiar with 3D. Printing form sets can become cumbersome. The more you use your HIP template in the field; modify & fine tune it as you do inspections.

Your template should follow the same flow as the actual inspection. Build a template that works for you, or start with Dominic's.  After you perform an inspection, take notes on what would work better.  Spend a day modifying just EXTERIOR.  Progress through your entire template.

The approach I took was to build a template to way I thought would work best, then do some inspections and if I made a lot of changes, I would save that template and use it for future inspections. Once I got to a point where I wasn't making many changes I kept that template as a master template. Then inspected with a copy of that template. I would they make some notes about what I liked or did not like. Open HIP twice on desktop and copy and paste between the 2 templates. After about a dozen inspections you will be about 90% where you want to be with your template. Always save your latest copy back the master. I never inspect with my master copy in the field. Also, you will never have a perfect template. I still sit down about once a week and adjust something, but this will get you a lot closer. Printing out a hard copy and writing is way to slow. Go Digital!
