John Kogel Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 I did my research by reading here what Katen's and a couple of other peoples opinion were, asking a couple of my customers, and my own personal desire to type less bullshit. This is what I was suggesting, John. Write like you were talking. Marc While aware of the principle, have not fully embraced same for simple listing or description of parts. Skip that part, no problems there. [] Re: CYA, I also have plenty of that to tack on beginning or end, plus the Standard Agreement, which is the contract, plus more of that in the booklet I hand over at the inspection. I agree, heading each section of the report with a disclaimer reeks of paranoia or lack of confidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erby Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 If it's a listing, it doesn't really need sentences. Click to Enlarge 11.21 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Raymond Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 My report is very similar, except the comments follow the description for each system ala Katen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Descriptions are all in the back on mine. The few disclaimers I use are blanket format all in the front. I found people liked having a simple list, i.e., a summary. My survey indicated folks didn't care about inventory lists. A little, but only a little. Shoot, I don't care about inventory lists. I do it because I have to. I've tried to design my output to accommodate young folks and how they read nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurt Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 If it was cheaper, faster, and provided more clarity, I would. I can put video clips into the container fields of my database, and they'd play in .pdf online, but it's taking it farther than it needs to go. Erby's examples are exactly what I'm talking about. One comment, two pics. Red arrows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
