Every inspection starts with a project. Creating one takes two required fields and lands you straight in the project workspace, with a Hail Report already ordering itself in the background.
Open the New project sheet#
- Tap the + button in the center of the bottom navigation. It is available wherever the bottom bar shows — the Projects screen and the Account screen. Inside a project, tap ← Projects first.
The New project sheet slides up.

Fill in the project#
- Enter the Homeowner name (required).
- Enter the Property address (required). The field is a type-ahead — start typing and pick the address from the suggestions so it geocodes cleanly.
- Add a Phone and Email if you have them. They power the call and text icons on the project card and let you send upload links later.
- Add a Project number if your company uses its own numbering. It is optional, shows as the # on the project card, and must be unique.
- Set the Date of damage (optional) and Damage type. The date of damage highlights the matching storm event on the Weather tab.
- Add any Notes.
- Tap Create project.
The app opens the new project's workspace, ready for Details and the Interview.
If something goes wrong#
- Leaving either required field blank shows "Homeowner name and property address are required." Fill both in and try again.
- A Project number that another project already uses shows "That project number is already in use." Pick a different number, or leave the field blank.
- With no connection you get "You appear to be offline. Reconnect and try again." Creating a project needs a connection — but once the project exists, capture and inspection answers work offline and sync when you reconnect. See Working offline.
