InventoryBase have added a new feature so that your clients can now see a Live Calendar view on the Add Inspection page to display available time slots.

Clients will need their own login to be able to use this feature, please read this guide here on how to add Clients onto your account.

After you add the client to your account, they then have the option to book in any future inspections using InventoryBase by selecting Add Inspection. They will find this button on the top right of their Dashboard or Inspections page.

The first screen will be the property screen, where the client can type a new property address or click the 'Existing Property' button to select an address you've already added before.

On the next screen the client can then select the Report Type, date and time of the Inspection.

Here they also have the option to upload any PDFs/Word Documents too. Example of existing documents they may wish to upload vary from previous reports (for example if you are doing the Check Out and would like access to the Check In), gas and safety certificates, and so on.

The green dots symbolise available time slots that the clients can click to book. Clients can simply click to highlight the time slot.

Once they have selected the time slot, they can then add any additional notes, contacts, and the location of the keys before saving the booking, by clicking Save and Continue
