Stay updated with the latest from BuildingReports! In order for our Service Membership network to have the most current tools and services for the benefit of their customers, we consistently enhance our offerings and services. The most recent updates, designed in response to our member network’s feedback, reflect our dedication to continuous improvement.

JANUARY 2025

eLearning

• Streamlined the registration process by integrating directly with our eLearning provider. Users now access courses through your web portal without needing a separate account.

Get Reports

• Introduced a feature to notify stakeholders when device repair pricing is updated following an inspection. To send a notification, locate your ScanSeries inspection on the relevant tab of the Get Reports page, select the Service Options icon, then click the Notify button. The notification will include a direct link to the report for easy access to the updated pricing.
• New AHJ export tool for all BuildingReports users. Easily accessible in your portal, this tool makes gathering deficiency data a breeze. With flexible export options, you can pick individual deficiencies, copy all, or export the full list as a CSV file. You can even include passed devices with notes or recommendations. Plus, it pre-formats device-level data for easy pasting into third-party solutions. While we keep expanding our integrations, this feature is here to help you quickly meet local jurisdiction requirements.
• New frequency options have been added to ScanSeries and the Get Reports Frequency pick-list. Now you can designate inspections as ‘Service’ and ‘Daily.’ Please note, these options are not available in SchedulingManager (calendar), Compliance Orgs, National Accounts, or other frequency lists.

IROL

• We announced last month that we have developed a powerful new integration with IROL (Inspection Reports Online) — designed to simplify the way service providers handle fire and life safety system reports. If your company operates in a jurisdiction requiring AHJ submissions through IROL, don’t miss out on this game-changing feature! Contact membersuccess@buildingreports.com to schedule your training and activation.

Notification Manager

• Resolved an issue preventing notifications from being sent for BRForms uploads when using the ‘Inspection Upload’ On Event.

Salesforce Integration

• Introduced a new privilege for custom user roles, granting users access to the SF integration interface.

ScanSeries

• Updated the Test & Inspection Frequency field to include ‘Daily’ and ‘Service’ options, offering more flexibility for daily inspections and service-only reports.
