Conditional Logic for Dynamic Content in Inspections
We’re adding the ability to apply conditional logic to your templates, enabling questions to appear or remain hidden based on user inputs during inspections. This feature streamlines the inspection process by showing only relevant questions, reducing clutter, and focusing inspectors on what matters most. With dynamic forms tailored in real-time, inspections become more efficient, user-friendly, and precise.
October 2024
Reference Images in Inspections and Reports:
We introduced the ability to add static reference images directly to sections within your templates. This powerful new feature allows inspectors to visually embed instructions, manuals, part diagrams, maps, and more. These images will appear during inspections and, if desired, on reports, ensuring seamless alignment between fieldwork and documentation. Whether verifying specific conditions, parts, or setups, reference images offer precise guidance, minimizing guesswork and enhancing the accuracy, consistency, and overall quality of inspections.
We’ve added more email notifications
You can now get notified when an inspection is created, set to In Progress, completed, or deleted. To enable these notifications, go to Settings > Email Notifications in the web or mobile app.
Expanded Scoring Capabilities
We’ve extended scoring to numeric and text form fields! You can now create conditional logic to assign scores using operators like equal to or greater than for numeric values, and contains or starts with for text values, offering greater flexibility and precision in your scoring processes.
Instructions Visibility in Final Reports
We’ve added the option to specify, within a template’s Instruction control, whether the instructions should appear in the final PDF report. This feature allows you to display instructions during the inspection process without including them in the generated report, ensuring a cleaner, more focused final output.
Enhanced Workflow Locking Features
We’ve added new locking behaviors to workflows:
- Authorized User Locking: Only authorized users can unlock and modify data on a locked page.
- Permanent Lock: Secure an inspection with a permanent lock, preventing any further edits.
These features ensure tighter control and data integrity throughout the inspection workflows.
New ‘Cancelled’ Inspection Status
We’ve introduced a ‘Cancelled’ status to help you better manage your inspections. Use this status to mark inspections as inactive, terminated, or no longer needed, ensuring your workflows stay organized and up to date. This addition improves clarity by filtering out discontinued inspections from active processes.

Expanded Scoring, Flagging, and Color Coding to Custom Sets
The scoring, flagging, and color coding capabilities we introduced last month have now been expanded to work with Custom Sets. Custom Sets are global lists within the platform that are centrally configured, enabling reuse across templates and teams. This extension brings ultimate flexibility—unmatched by any forms-based platform available.
New Help Center Design
We’ve launched a new version of our Help Center and will be adding topics regularly. Explore it at help.visualogyx.com!
These features ensure tighter control and data integrity throughout the inspection process.

Scoring, Color Coding, and Flagging in Templates
We’re excited to roll out powerful new features that will enhance the way you conduct inspections. Now, you can configure scoring, color coding, and flagging within your templates for multi-choice, single choice, and dropdown questions, offering greater visibility and clarity in your inspections and reports.
- Scoring
You can now assign numeric scores to questions, and see them automatically tally across individual questions, entire pages, and the overall inspection in real-time. Scores can be displayed in your final PDF reports. Plus, you can convert these scores into your preferred currency and apply a currency multiplier to estimate inspection costs. All scoring settings are centralized in the newly designed properties tab, making template configuration straightforward and efficient.
- Color Coding
You can now highlight responses by selecting from preset colors or defining your own. This feature makes your inspections and reports visually engaging, ensuring that key data stands out and is easily identified.
- Flagging
Easily flag responses that need attention in your reports. You have the option to flag items in real-time during the inspection or after its completion, all controlled within the template properties. Additionally, you can include a section in the final PDF report that summarizes all flagged items, ensuring that important details are not missed.
These enhancements are designed to improve the clarity and effectiveness of your inspection results. All features are now available to active Visualogyx accounts. Start using them in your templates today!

Inspection Workflows
We’re excited to introduce our latest breakthrough feature: Workflows!
Workflows empower you to streamline your inspection processes by defining inspection steps and assigning role-based permissions to sections of your inspections. Our enhanced Template Builder lets you configure page-level access and visibility, ensuring the right team members see and complete only their assigned inspection parts. You can now add action buttons within inspection templates to submit and lock data, track progress status, and automatically notify users in the workflow.
Highlights:
- Enhanced Template Builder allows control over user access to specific pages in templates.
- New action buttons let you control who can submit and lock data in inspection sections.
- Shortcuts offer easy navigation buttons to inspection properties and third-party sharing.
- Action buttons manage custom statuses in inspections, enabling inspection progress monitoring.

Introducing Resharing capabilities
In Visualogyx users can extend inspection collaboration beyond a core team by inviting external users, such as third-party inspectors or field examiners, directly into the inspection workflow.
Our latest update allows these external users to re-share or delegate inspections, offering increased flexibility and extended reach in inspection management.
When an inspection is shared, users will now find a ‘Re-share’ option that when ON enables further sharing.
We improved the “Locate Me” and “Check-In” features for setting inspection geolocation to use precise location services and avoid using cached locations.
We improved the KYPiT analytics domain validation rules to account for sharing inspections with external users.
We enhanced our Barcode/QR code reader technology for better detection.
