The demo data includes the '''automatic report''', a generic default report for any questionnaire. This report can be made available in the app without any additional configuration using [[Report Designer]]. Automatic reports are only available for the standalone Resco Inspections product.
With Resco Inspections, you can follow up the inspection with generating a report, for example in PDF format. The report is created directly on the device, even offline.


While editing a questionnaire using [[Questionnaire Designer]], you can use the '''Mobile Report''' button to open the Report Designer. This function will take the questionnaire structure and convert it into a custom report with the same structure. This new report is also linked to the questionnaire.

Alternatively, you can start Report Designer, create a brand new report from scratch, and link it to a questionnaire manually.

* '''Full''': Save only the answers. Static images, questions, rules, and styles are not included; instead, they are replaced with a reference to a questionnaire template. This option is recommended if your questionnaires rarely change and it is only available for versioned questionnaire templates.

: <small>Using versioned templates means that old template versions gain the archived state. Sometimes, the sync filter for the Questionnaire entity is configured to exclude archived templates. If you attempt to view old answered questionnaires (that use an archived template with medium or high dependency level) in the app in offline mode, you may encounter the ''Questionnaire template not found!'' error. In this case, consider modifying the sync filter to make archived templates available in the offline mode.</small>
Another complementary option is saving your images in external cloud document storage, rather than in the database. This behavior is configured on the Properties pane for images in the parameter '''Storage Entity'''. Cloud document storage is often much cheaper than databases. Resco Inspections supports third-party document storage by Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, and SharePoint.
