# Report Settings in the Hive Inspect Mobile App: Name, Intro, Cover

> Change a report's name, introduction text, summary text and cover photo from the Hive Inspect mobile app. Changes apply to that report only.

In the mobile app: the report editor → the **three dots** at the top of the Sections screen.

**Report Settings** holds the parts of a report that aren't in a section: its name, the introduction, the summary text and the cover photo. Changes here only affect this report. To change the defaults for new reports, edit the template on the dashboard.

This report covers the visible and accessible systems and co..., with a blue pencil; Summary Text starting The home is in good overall condition for its age, with a blue pencil; and the top of Cover Photo.

| Setting | What it is |
| - | - |
| **Report Name** | The name clients see, for example "Home Inspection Report". Up to 100 characters; the counter shows how many are left. Tap **Save** after you change it. |
| **Introduction Text** | Shown at the start of the report, before the first section: a welcome note, the scope of the inspection or how to read the report. Tap the pencil to edit it. |
| **Summary Text** | Shown at the top of the summary report, above the list of defects: for example how the summary is organized or what the categories mean. Tap the pencil to edit it. |
| **Cover Photo** | An optional photo at the top of the report. |

Tap the **i** next to any of them for a short explanation.

![The Report Name explanation: This is the name clients will see when viewing the report, with a Got it button](https://mintcdn.com/hiveinspect-43c85ed1/t9Q1_TNVwS8aDUOV/images/how-tos/mobile-report-settings-info.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=t9Q1_TNVwS8aDUOV\&q=85\&s=2575f866f1fa2a83848028addacc247a)

## Introduction and summary text

Tap the pencil to open the text editor, write and format the text, then tap **Save**. Placeholders such as `{{{client_full_name}}}` are filled in automatically in the client's report. See [Placeholders](https://docs.hiveinspect.com/how-tos/placeholders.md).

## Cover photo

![The lower part of Report Settings: Introduction Text, Summary Text and the Cover Photo card with a camera icon, Add a cover photo and Tap to choose from your library or camera](https://mintcdn.com/hiveinspect-43c85ed1/t9Q1_TNVwS8aDUOV/images/how-tos/mobile-report-settings-cover.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=t9Q1_TNVwS8aDUOV\&q=85\&s=3eb4f3fbea15a5d38e813752cc13871c)

1. Tap **Add a cover photo**.
2. Choose **Camera** or **Photo Library**.
3. Pick or take the photo. It uploads straight away and the app says "Report cover photo updated!"

![The Report Cover Photo message: Choose how to add a cover photo, with Camera, Photo Library and Cancel buttons](https://mintcdn.com/hiveinspect-43c85ed1/t9Q1_TNVwS8aDUOV/images/how-tos/mobile-report-settings-cover-prompt.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=t9Q1_TNVwS8aDUOV\&q=85\&s=14219d453504cc1dc5905b8447e53ee1)

Once a report has a cover photo, the card shows it with **Change** and **Remove** buttons. **Remove** asks "Are you sure you want to remove the cover photo from this report?"

The cover photo needs an internet connection, because it uploads as soon as you pick it.

> [!NOTE]
>
> The report's cover photo is separate from the inspection's banner photo (the house photo on the Inspection Summary and in the client portal). Change that one from the [Inspection Summary](https://docs.hiveinspect.com/how-tos/mobile-inspection-summary.md#the-property-photo).

## Private notes

Private notes for a section or subsection come from the template. When a section or subsection has them, a document icon shows at the top of its screen. Tap it to read them. They can't be changed in the app; edit them in the template on the dashboard.
