How do I create/edit questions?

Modified on Thu, 9 Oct at 1:20 PM

A. Adding new questions to an inspection

Find the category you would like to create a question for
Click the ellipsis to the right of the category’s heading and select Edit
Click the Add question button below the category’s heading
A section to add a new question will appear at the bottom of the category’s details
Enter the question’s details:
- Question text: mandatory for each question you want to save
- Text-based guidance can be added optionally
- Attachments: image and pdf files can be optionally added as guidance
- Answer Type Dropdown: select Multiple Choice, Date or Free Text
- Tags can be added from the list of existing tags set up for your organisation
- Enable for all area types: if the inspection has tailored area types set up, you can select ‘Enable for all area types’ to quickly turn the question on for all area types
- Branching logic can be set up using the Show if question field
- Require action on first fail: you can select this to prompt the inspector to create an action when this question is first answered negatively, as long as there isn’t an existing action against the question
Once you have added all the questions you need, click Save to add them to the category
Note:
1. The question will always be enabled for the master inspection type, and must be archived to be removed (see How do I archive questions?)
2. If you decide you don’t want to add any of the questions you have started, you can click Discard All to quickly clear any un-added questions

B. Editing an existing question in the inspection

Find the category you would like to edit a question for
Click the ellipsis to the right of the category’s heading and select Edit
Find the question you would like to edit and click the dropdown arrow on that question
A section with existing question details will appear at the bottom of the category’s details
Once you have edited all the question details you need, click Save to add them to the question
