I don't need to tell you how important saving backups can be. This page will cover what you need to know about saving your backup files. InspectX backups are saved locally on your computer. The location of these backups can be changed in your settings, but they are initially set to save to the root directory where InspectX was installed....
Read MoreThe wait is over! I am very excited to announce that the InspectX version 2 update is finally ready and available for installation. If you are a current user of InspectX, this update will install independently of your current InspectX database and files. Instructions for converting your database project and files into the new version can be found...
Read MoreThis year's SAMS International meeting in Montreal Canada was especially exciting since it allowed us to show off so many of the new features and abilities of InspectX version 2. Thank you to everyone who took the time to stop by our table, ask questions and take a deeper look. If there was one consistent theme, it was that we could show a...
Read MoreInspectX has always had a professional appeal to its auto-generated cover and title pages. The idea of simply adding the basic details and having these pages automatically load content is convenient, but it causes inherent limitations when customizing the content. In the pursuit of a balance, we have created a method that can still utilize the...

InspectX has been founded on two primary principles of equal importance. An interface that is easy to use, and a final report that is well organized and professional. I have often said that a report writing program is very...
Read MoreI am very excited to announce that we are nearing completion of a very large update to InspectX. We have packed so many new features into this new version I don’t even know where to begin. To our loyal surveyors already using InspectX, this update is for you. Don’t worry, while we have created all these amazing new features, we have still kept...
Read MoreIt is quite surprising how often I come across a fixed fire suppression system that still has the service safety pin inserted, preventing manual activation of the system in case of an emergency. Oddly enough, this is most often on systems that have been recently inspected, but after catching this a few times now I make a mental note of always...
Read MoreFor some time now I have been contemplating starting some form of group gathering online where we can discuss survey topics, tips and tricks within InspectX and just have a general group meeting. This past weekend we gave a go at a first attempt on this. I'll add an excerpt from this Zoom meeting here. Don't hesitate to let me know if this is of in...
