When you issue a report, complete with a SmartPins layout in the appendix, your client knows exactly where in the building you are describing. In addition, you have the ability to colour code SmartPins to group them together in categories, making the final report visually appealing with the added benefit of being able to click on a SmartPin to display all the key data and even click straight through to the relevant entry in your report.
