Settings, Backup and Assignees
Settings allows you to manage the main supporting information for Snaglite, including company details, assignees, backup and restore, appearance options and subscription access where applicable.
It is sensible to check Settings before carrying out live inspections.
- enter company details correctly
- set up regular assignees
- understand how backup and restore works
- review any appearance or theme options
- check subscription status if relevant
Company information
Company details may be used in exported reports. Enter them carefully and keep them up to date.
If reports are being issued externally, check that the business name and any other reporting details shown in Settings are correct before export.
Assignees
Assignees are used to identify who is responsible for dealing with a snag. Setting these up in advance makes snag entry quicker and helps keep naming consistent across the inspection record.
Examples of assignees may include:
- Main Contractor
- Joiner
- Painter
- Electrician
- Client Supply Item
Good practice
Use one consistent name for each assignee rather than several slight variations. This keeps filtering and reporting much clearer.
Backup and restore
If the inspection data is important, use backup regularly. Backups provide a practical safeguard if you need to move to another device, recover data or preserve a record before making major changes.
It is sensible to create backups:
- before major editing or data changes
- before changing device
- after completing an important inspection
- at regular intervals during active project work
If you need to restore from a backup, check the restored data carefully before relying on it for live reporting.
Appearance or theme settings
Snaglite includes both a dark and light theme appearance in settings that affects how the app looks during use. These do not change the underlying inspection data,or carry through to the PDF Report.
Choose whichever appearance is clearest and most comfortable for your working conditions.
Subscription
Where Snaglite uses subscription access, the relevant subscription information and management options should be available through Settings or related subscription screens.
Check that subscription access is active before relying on the app for live site work.
Practical precautions
- Check company information before exporting reports
- Keep assignee names consistent
- Use backup regularly if the data matters
- Do not leave important exports until much later
- Review restored data carefully if a restore has been carried out
