PIM keeps a history for every inspection area, so you can look back at a property's previous inspections — the notes and photos captured on earlier visits — without leaving the inspection you're working on. It's especially useful at an exit inspection, when you want to compare the property's current condition against the entry record and document anything that has changed.

Entry and Exit Inspections

A tenancy is usually bookended by two inspections. Understanding how they pair up makes the history far more useful:

• Entry (Ingoing) inspection — the condition recorded at the start of a tenancy. This is your baseline.
• Exit (Outgoing) inspection — the condition recorded when the tenant moves out.
• Area History — for each area, PIM shows you the previous inspection's notes and photos, so at an exit you can see how that same area looked last time (or at entry) and record what has changed.

Having the previous inspection's photos and notes on hand as you work gives you a clear point of comparison for bond and end-of-tenancy decisions — the kind of before-and-after record that holds up if a claim is disputed.

Viewing an Area's History

Comparing Entry and Exit Photos

At an exit inspection, open the area's history to see the previous inspection's photos and notes for that same area — for example, the entry condition. Compare them against what you're recording now, area by area, to capture anything that has changed. Touch and hold a history photo to view it full size, or to copy it into the current area.
