Managing multiple properties can feel overwhelming, but with myInspections, you can simplify your process by creating and using property templates. Available on the Business Plan, this feature allows you to save time by standardising layouts, checklists, and settings for properties you inspect frequently. A great feature for property managers and property service businesses, this guide will walk you through how to set up a property template in no time.
What Are Property Templates?
A property template in myInspections is a reusable structure that you can apply when setting up new properties. Templates include predefined layouts, spaces, and checklist items, allowing you to hit the ground running for every inspection.
This feature is exclusively available on the Business Plan, designed for professionals managing multiple properties or teams.
Step-by-Step: Creating a Property Template
There are two ways to create a property template in myInspections:
Create a template when creating a new property
- Visit the properties page in your myInspections dashboard.
- Add a new property.
- Select the layout builder option.
- Fill out the form to generate a property layout.
- From here, you can edit the property layout by adding or removing spaces and tweaking any checklists.
- Click the property layout menu button [ ⋮ ].
- Select save as a new template.
Next time you create a property, you’ll be able to use this layout as a template.
Create a template from an existing property
- Visit the properties page in your myInspections dashboard.
- Click the property layout menu button [ ⋮ ] for the property you want to save as a template.
- Select save as a new template.
Next time you create a property, you’ll be able to use this layout as a template.
Using Your Property Template
When adding a new property, you can select a template from the ‘Use Template’ dropdown. The system will automatically apply the layout and checklists, saving you time and ensuring consistency.
