## Before you start

- Use a new template or a new version if the current template already has responses.

## 1. Choose the answer type

Add fields from the palette: text for observations, numbers for measurements, booleans for yes/no or selectors for predefined options. The editor also offers date, media and equipment-data fields.

## 2. Write clear questions

Include the unit for measurements and configure selector options. Review the required setting for each field: require only information the team can collect on every applicable visit.

## 3. Review the sequence and preview

Arrange questions in inspection order. Open the preview and check labels, options and required fields. Wait for the editor’s save confirmation before leaving.

## Check the result

The preview shows an inspection the team can follow from start to finish.

## If something gets in the way

### Changing a question already in use?

Create a new version before changing the structure of a template with responses. Changing existing questions can affect historical reports.
