New Features


Duplicate sections in a report

What changed: In the web report editor outline, you can now duplicate a section or subsection for just that report, such as adding a second bathroom. The template stays the same, and you can add, move, and edit comments on the copy as usual.

Where to find it: Web report editor outline, Duplicate section (or the subsection versions).


Edit photos and videos from the web report

What changed: The comment editor on the web report now has a Media field where you can add, remove, and reorder photos and videos and edit their captions.

Where to find it: Web report, the edit pencil on a comment, then Media.


Location tags in photo captions

What changed: Each photo caption now has a location pin that shows your company's location tags. Tap a tag to add it to the caption, and tap it again to remove it. Photos also show in a three-column grid.

Where to find it: Photo captions in the web report editor and in the comment editor on the published web report, Add location tags.


Clients get a text when an email bounces

What changed: When an email to a client bounces, Attik now texts the client once for that job so they can fix their address. Bounced emails, declined payments and the automatic text are also logged in the job activity feed. ⚠ Confirm before publishing: confirm whether this text is on for every company or needs to be turned on.

Where to find it: Work order, activity feed


Improvements


Long locations wrap in the comment editor

What changed: The location box on a comment now grows up to four lines, so long locations are easy to read and edit. Saved locations still show on one line in the report.

Where to find it: Comment editor in the web report editor and on the published web report.


Official forms fill more fields

What changed: Mapped official form fields now fill from every report section, including sections hidden from the client, and fields set to Let AI draw on the best-matching part of the report. A new Always checked option checks a box on every report. If AI filling fails, the form keeps its mapped values and shows a warning.

Where to find it: A report template's official form mapping, and the official form card and review page on the work order.


Bounced emails show on the send

What changed: Emails that bounce or are blocked by the recipient are now marked on the send instead of showing as sent, so you can see which address failed.

Where to find it: Work order, activity feed


Tap a calendar job to see details on a phone browser

What changed: On a phone, tapping a job on the calendar now opens the job details card first. Opening the work order is a separate tap.

Total paid by client on payments with a fee

What changed: When a payment has a separate Pay at Close or card fee line, the work order now shows the total the client paid, so you can quote the full amount.

AND/OR help in action flow conditions

What changed: The AND/OR choice in conditions now has tooltips explaining each option, and the group label updates to match the option you picked.

Where to find it: Action flow, conditions


Pick states from a dropdown in conditions

What changed: State conditions now use a dropdown of 2-letter state codes, and jobs and quotes always store the state as a 2-letter code, so state-based conditions and forms match reliably. Existing saved state conditions were converted.

Where to find it: Any conditions editor, State field


Assignment matrix header stays visible

What changed: The header row in service assignment matrices now stays pinned at the top while you scroll down long service lists.

Where to find it: Settings, service assignment matrix

Limitations show in Only Show Summary Items

What changed: Turning on Only Show Summary Items in the web report now keeps limitations visible, matching View Summary PDF. Sections with limitations stay open and show only their limitations, and informational comments stay hidden.

Where to find it: Published web report, Only Show Summary Items.


New Reports Hub columns

What changed: Reports Hub now has columns for contact mailing address and business name, closing date, separate inspection date and inspection time, a link to each work order, and ISN IDs on imported records, so exports need less cleanup.

Where to find it: Company Handbook, help docs

Where to find it: No new screen. Takes effect on reports sent to EverHome after the update.

Applies to: Future records only


App stays fast during payment updates

What changed: When FlexFund sent the same blocked payment status again and again, each repeat was saved over the payment record, which slowed the app on the evening of Friday, Oct 30.

Where to find it: No new screen. Takes effect after the update.

Applies to: Existing and future records

Attik Update - Five-Minute Videos, Restart-to-Update Prompt & Faster Android Report Writer (Mobile App)

Summary

  • Record and upload videos up to five minutes, with steadier video and smaller files

  • AI suggestions now understand what a video shows

  • A prompt tells inspectors when an app update is ready, and Restart applies it

  • A compact Finish button that no longer covers the outline

  • Faster typing in the Android report writer and no more doubled words from voice typing

  • Faster photo uploads and more free storage on the phone

Make sure to update your app to version 1.5.0:

Apple: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/attik-mobile/id6761028625

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ai.attik.mobile&hl=en_US


New Features

Brand new faster camera that reduces blur, opens faster, and has exposure adjustments.

What changed: We upgraded the camera to vision-camera 5. This latest model works faster on apple and android, is lighter on the phone, and should open and close faster for users.

Where to find it: All camera surfaces.



Android lag when selecting comments addressed

What changed: Tapping through comment screens, adding images, and locations in long comment lists caused lagging when the phone was not on airplane mode. Sometimes up to a 5 second delay between taps and UI updates. This was due to a re-rendering issue causing server syncing to re-render the whole list on android with each change. We prevented the re-render, plus upgraded the database on android to increase UI speed.

Where to find it: Any comment list on Android.

Applies to: Existing and future jobs


Restart prompt when an app update is ready

What changed: When an over the air app update finishes downloading, an Update ready banner appears at the bottom of the screen. Tap Restart to apply it right away instead of closing and reopening the app twice.

Where to find it: Bottom of the screen after an update downloads.


Improvements

Compact Finish button in the outline

What changed: The large floating Finish report bar is now a small Finish button next to the progress count at the top of the outline, so it no longer covers rows and comments. It shows on completed reports too, where it opens the summary.

Where to find it: Report writer outline, next to the progress count.


Styles & Materials and Overview Media titles in normal text

What changed: The Styles & Materials and Overview Media row titles now use the normal text color instead of orange, which read as red. The row tint, icon and status checks are unchanged.

Where to find it: Report writer outline.


Five-minute videos at 1080p

What changed: Videos can now be up to five minutes long, up from two. The in-app camera counts down and stops at 5:00, and the library picker accepts clips up to five minutes. Uploads are sized to 1080p on the short side and keep their shape.

Where to find it: Camera video mode and the photo library picker on a comment.


Steadier video and smaller recordings

What changed: In-app video is stabilized on phones that support it and recorded in a more efficient format, so files are about half the size before upload. Uploaded videos still play in any browser.

Where to find it: Camera video mode.


AI understands what a video shows

What changed: The app now sends several still frames from across each video, so AI comment suggestions reflect what the video shows and arrive without waiting for the full video to upload.

Where to find it: AI suggestions on comments with video.


Faster photo uploads

What changed: Report photos are prepared at a smaller size before upload, so they upload faster while staying sharp in the web report and PDF.

Where to find it: No new screen. Takes effect after the update.


Frees up phone storage after uploads

What changed: Once the smaller copy of a photo or video is safely uploaded, the full-size original is removed from the phone, so the app uses much less storage.

Where to find it: No new screen. Takes effect after the update.


Bug Fixes

Voice typing no longer doubles words

What changed: Dictating into a photo caption, location, comment title or Notes field no longer doubles words or drops text.

Where to find it: Comment and photo text fields with the keyboard microphone.

Applies to: Existing and future records


Attik Update - Weak-Signal Reliability, Inspector License Numbers on Forms & Styles & Materials Template Tools (Report Writer & Mobile App)

Summary

  • The report writer stays responsive on weak signal, and queued changes send on their own when signal returns

  • The camera no longer fires on its own, freezes on zoom, or adds duplicate photos, and the Outbox recovers stuck items

  • Fill official forms with the inspector's license number, and copy, move, convert, and rename Styles & Materials items and headings in report templates

  • Send hidden-section photos to PDF form photo pages, and keep inspector helper text off client reports while it shows in the app

  • Separate Auto checked, Required comment, and Option required settings, with required comment counts that follow them in the app

  • Section numbers stay fixed, completed reports keep their template outline, and PDFs and client reports print more cleanly


New Features

Inspector license numbers on official forms

What changed: An official form text blank can now fill in the job inspector's license number straight from their staff profile. When an inspector holds more than one license, choose which one prints: the one matching the property's state, a specific state, or a certification type.

Where to find it:

  1. Open Configure official form and select a text blank.

  2. Choose Inspection info, then Job field, then Inspector license number.

  3. Pick Match property state, Specific state, or Certification type.

Setup:

  1. Make sure each inspector's licenses are entered under Licenses & Certifications on their staff profile.


Copy and move Styles & Materials items

What changed: Template authors can copy a Styles & Materials item to any section or subsection, rename the question, and keep all of its choices, or move one or several items at once instead of retyping them.

Where to find it:

  1. Open a report template in the template editor.

  2. On a Styles & Materials item, choose Copy or Move (select several items to copy or move them together).

  3. Pick the destination section or subsection. The items are added at the end of its list.


Convert comments to Styles & Materials

What changed: Comments with two or more options and no narrative can be turned into a section Styles & Materials field with the same options, one at a time or in bulk. Spectora imports now bring in a "Styles and Materials" subsection like any other subsection, so you choose what to convert.

Where to find it:

  1. Open a report template in the template editor.

  2. Open a comment and select Convert to style and material, or select several comments and choose Convert to S&M.


Most-used comments rise to the top

What changed: Comment lists are now ordered by how often your company uses each comment in that spot, so a plumbing list is sorted by what gets used on plumbing. Rankings are per company and never shaped by other companies' use, and a company setting turns frequency sorting off.

Where to find it: No new screen. Comment lists in the report writer reorder as your team uses them.


Export template comments to CSV with usage counts

What changed: Download a CSV of a report template's comments, including section, subsection, title, type, whether it starts checked, and how many times each comment has been used. Handy for cleaning up templates and auditing Spectora migrations.

Where to find it: Open a report template and use the CSV export for that template.


Rename the Styles & Materials heading per section

What changed: Template authors can give each section its own heading for the Styles & Materials block, up to 24 characters, so the block can hold things like inspection details under a heading that fits. The online client report shows the new heading in every report style, and sections without one keep "Styles & Materials". The mobile app and PDF are unchanged.

Where to find it:

  1. Open a report template in the template editor.

  2. Open a section and find its Styles & Materials fields.

  3. Type the heading you want. Leave it blank to keep "Styles & Materials".


Hidden-section photos on PDF form photo pages

What changed: A section hidden from the client report can now send its photos to a PDF form's additional photo pages, so termite (WDI) forms can carry the required graph and photos. The section stays hidden from the client report. The setting is off by default.

Where to find it:

  1. Open a report template and open a section's settings.

  2. Turn on the setting to include this section's photos on PDF form photo pages.

  3. Make sure the form has Additional photo pages turned on.


Improvements

Separate Auto checked, Required comment, and Option required settings

What changed: Each template comment now has three settings you can combine: Auto checked starts it on the report, Required comment is met when it's checked (no photo needed), and Option required is met when at least one option is picked. Required pre-checked comments no longer block completion or show Needs attention.

Where to find it:

  1. Open a report template in the template editor.

  2. Open a comment's settings and turn on Auto checked, Required comment, and/or Option required.

Setup:

  1. Existing required comments carry over automatically: ones with options become Required comment plus Option required, and ones without options become Required comment. Review templates where you want something different.


Required comment counts follow the new template settings

What changed: Section counts and Needs attention now follow the template's Auto checked, Required comment, and Option required settings. A required comment that starts checked counts as done without any extra step, and one set to Option required counts once an option is picked.

Where to find it: Section counts and Needs attention in a report.


Photos and videos are prepared in the background

What changed: After you take or pick a photo or video, the app saves it right away and prepares it in the background before uploading. If preparing fails, it retries instead of uploading the original full-size file.

Where to find it: No new screen. Progress shows in the Outbox.


The report writer stays responsive on weak signal

What changed: On weak or patchy signal, picking comments and moving between screens no longer lags or goes black. Styles & Materials picks show right away, a report you opened before still opens without signal, and queued changes send on their own as soon as signal returns.

Where to find it: No new screen. Takes effect after the update.


Inspector helper text stays off client reports

What changed: A section's Description is now called Inspector helper text. It shows only to inspectors in the app and no longer appears on the client report or PDF. Overview text that had been copied from it is cleaned up.

Where to find it:

  1. Open a report template in the template editor.

  2. Open a section and fill in Inspector helper text.


Inspector helper text shows in the app

What changed: A section's inspector helper text now shows at the top of the section when you open it. Long text shows two lines, and you can tap to see the rest.

Where to find it: Report outline, open a section.


Process comment no longer waits on video

What changed: Tapping Process comment right after recording a video no longer leaves the screen looking frozen. The video finishes preparing in the background.

Where to find it: Process comment on a new comment.


Styles & Materials options as tappable chips

What changed: In the web report writer, Styles & Materials options now show as chips instead of dropdowns, matching the mobile app. Tap to select, tap again to clear, and use + to add a custom answer.

Where to find it: Report writer, in a section's overview panel.


Section numbers stay put when sections are removed

What changed: Each section keeps the number from its place in the template. Removing a section leaves a gap (for example 1, 2, 4) instead of renumbering everything after it, and finding numbers follow the same section number.

Where to find it: Published web report and the full and summary PDFs, which now show the same numbers.


Completed reports keep their template outline

What changed: When a report is completed, it saves the template outline it was written with. Later template edits no longer shift finding numbers, subsection names, or the overview grid on completed reports. Reopening a report refreshes it on the next completion.

Where to find it: No new screen. Applies to reports completed after this update.


Overview subsections work like every other subsection

What changed: Subsections named "Overview", "Section Overview", or "General Information" are no longer treated differently. The overview grid lists every subsection so its numbers match finding numbers, and these subsections can now be set as optional.

Where to find it: Published web report and PDF overview grid, and the section drawer in the template editor.


Bug Fixes

Camera no longer takes photos on its own

What changed: Opening the camera with the phone's volume all the way down or all the way up no longer snaps a photo by itself on Android. The volume-button shutter also works reliably again.

Where to find it: Report camera.

Applies to: Existing and future records


Changing zoom no longer freezes the camera

What changed: Changing zoom with the buttons or by pinching no longer freezes the camera preview, and the next photo uses the chosen zoom. Pinch-zooming a saved photo no longer freezes the app.

Where to find it: Report camera and the photo viewer.

Applies to: Existing and future records


Faster checkmark and no duplicate photos on Android

What changed: The checkmark after taking a photo is ready within a second or two on Android, and tapping it more than once adds the photo only once.

Where to find it: Report camera, after taking a photo.

Applies to: Future records only


Photos stay upright in report thumbnails

What changed: Photos are made upright once when captured or imported, so thumbnails, Edit photo, and the client report all match. If a photo can't be made upright, you'll see an error for that photo.

Where to find it: No new screen. Takes effect after the update.

Applies to: Future records only


Annotating several photos keeps every drawing

What changed: When you annotate several photos in a row on a comment, every photo keeps its drawing and can still be edited when reopened.

Where to find it: On a comment, Annotate, then Next, then Done.

Applies to: Future records only


Voice typing no longer doubles words

What changed: Dictating into a photo caption, location, or comment title on Android no longer repeats words.

Where to find it: Defect comment screen, in the caption, location, and title fields.

Applies to: Future records only


iPhone videos are compressed before upload

What changed: Videos recorded or picked on an iPhone are now compressed before uploading, so long or 4K clips no longer fail as too large.

Where to find it: No new screen. Takes effect after the update.

Applies to: Future records only


Picking a library comment of a different type saves correctly

What changed: Picking a library comment of another type (for example an Info comment on a defect capture) now saves and lands on the report instead of getting stuck in the Outbox. The comment library opens on the comment's own type.

Where to find it: Browse comment library on a comment.

Applies to: Unclear from release evidence


Custom comments open and stay put
