5.2 Creating Reports with observations
This is a very useful feature, allowing you to create videos, pictures and observations on-site. Load these automatically
into our free Microsoft Word template report using our companion software FlexiSight Manager. This can reduce the
number of office staff required by getting virtually all the work complete on site by one operative. Ensure you have set
up your company details (Section 3.8 Company details Settings), then begin.
Pressing ● to record will show you the Enter job data window:
Figure 5.2 Enter job data window

Once complete, press the record ● button to continue recording.
The files will now be saved in a Client folder (to avoid having
them all mixed together, as well as allowing the observations to
be added).

introduction to your video. These will display and automatically
hide.
