Ability to create/customize/rearrange systems and categories in Horizon.

41 votes

I would like to be able to make system entries room by room without opening and closing the system tabs. For example: I want to create a new tab, lets say "Mechanical Room", I want to enter information for the water heater, furnace, electrical panel, plumbing, flooring, interior finishes and any other system in that space without leaving the "Mechanical Room" tab in horizon mobile. The information gathered in that room would ideally populate the appropriate system sections automatically without me going in and out of multiple system tabs and searching between description and recommendation sections. I feel once I was able to custom load my tabs room by room I could dramatically increase the speed I gather information.

Could I pay to have this option made available to myself even if there was limited interest from others?

Give us the ability to add headings under (for example) the exterior section, so we can create whole new sub-categories if we want.

I would like to be able to re-order tabs in the Horizon Website and Mobile App to fit my inspection process especially in the Speed Write feature

Within each system tab, there are subsections. It would be great if we could reorder those subsections based on the order in which we perform an inspection. It would also be great if we could add subsections.

Yes! Our state standards require we comment on safety devices present on the water heater. It would be nice to be able to add a section for this in the description.

Add the ability to change/edit the word condition: in recommendations. Giving us the ability to make a statement within recommendations.
Example:
WALLS \ Fiber cement siding
Condition: Link to James Hardie fiber cement siding best practices guide 2018 pdf
Ability to change the word Condition: or eliminate it as we choose

I would like to be able to move the current tabs to the order for which I do my report. for instant Electrical is always last for me, and Plumbing is before Heating and Cooling. This would help report writing flow more smoothly.

Ability to add a CATEGORY is essential. For example, having only 6 entries for heat pumps and roof-top units is not sufficient in many cases. Systems having a larger number of units cannot be described adequately. Also, having identical categories in HEATING and HVAC is not convenient, as it forces describing same RTU or Heat Pump in two locations, repeating info on their model and serial numbers. This adds a confusion.

Agree, I can then prioritize the subs from top to bottom and include items that are common in my area.
ie: Pool and Spa: Sanitation Equipment (sub): erosion dispenser, liq chlorine, salt generator, etc.

Not sure this is the same thing but I would like to be able to slide a section up or down, i.e. change the order of the sections.

Thank you, Gary, for your post and we love to hear from inspectors about what features they would love for us to incorporate into the software.

Being able to change the order of the sub-sections would be a good update. When you change a heading, it may make more sense in the overall order of the report for the end client.
