3) Verify App Settings

  • From the main page of the app select the gear icon at the top left of the screen.
    • Turn on “Enable detailed Logging”
    • Change the “Days Submissions Stored” setting to at least 90 days. At The Chimney Doctor Ltd they set theirs at 365. 7 days is standard when the app loads. This sets how long you can access prior submissions before they are dropped from your device to save space.
    • Turn on “Save Images in Gallery”. This will assure that any pictures you take within the app will be saved to your camera roll on your phone or tablet as well..

4) Verify Phone Settings

*Please note that depending on your device and the version active on your phone your settings may vary from what is shown here. Screenshots come from an iPhone running iOS version 16.3.*

  • Open your device settings and search for the InspectionFire app. Click into settings for the app itself.
  • Toggle on “Background App Refresh” and “Cellular Data” if you would like it the app to upload submissions using cellular data. Otherwise submissions will only upload and process when you are connected to WIFI.
    • You will generally need to have the app open for submissions to start uploading.
  • Open “Location” and select “While using the app” and turn on “Precise Location”. This captures location data when you create a new form (on site with the customer) and again on the section of the form when the customer signs the form. This could be used if needed to prove in a court of law where you were when you performed your inspection.
  • Now on to “Photos”. Select it from the prior page. This is perhaps the most important setting as it will allow you to access your entire camera roll from inside the app. Make sure it is set to “All Photos”.

5) Customizing Your Forms

As the Company Admin (see below if Technician only)

  • If you are the Admin for your company on the first page of the app you should see a form titled “3.5 Admin Settings”. This is where you will setup your personal technician information and customize the disclaimers and prompts that will be shown to anyone within your company.
  • Follow the prompts inside this form and submit when complete.
    • Technician Information / Credentials
    • Company Information
    • Company Specific Options. Originally they will be prefilled with default InspectionFire values. You can choose to use these or customize them as you go.
    • Company Disclaimers (these will be shown on the next to last page of the report)
    • Company Policies/Language (customize some pre-written prompts and automatic language based on technician selections)
