Response types
Every question carries a response type: it decides what the inspector sees and enters. You pick it by clicking the question’s answers, in the This question’s answers window: choice answers, or one of the eight Other response types.
Choice answers
Section titled “Choice answers”This is the classic audit question — Yes / No / N-A, Compliant / Non-Compliant… The inspector picks one answer, or several if the question is set to Several answers. The answers come from one of these four places:
| In the window | For |
|---|---|
| In this template | a set shared by questions of this template: editing it changes them all |
| Standard | the sets shipped with Verifline, copied into this template as soon as you pick one |
| From your organization | the same answers in all your templates, so inspections compare with each other |
| Write answers for this question only | a list used here alone |
Every answer carries a color, a score and, when needed, the “Flagged” marking: see Response sets.
The other types
Section titled “The other types”| Type | For |
|---|---|
| Text | a written answer, short or long: observation, reference, comment |
| Number | a measurement — temperature, pressure, quantity —, with its unit if needed |
| Checkbox | a fact, checked or not (“Register present”) |
| Date & time | a day, a time, or both (last check, expiry) |
| Slider | a value picked on a scale, between the bounds you set (cleanliness from 0 to 10) |
| Media | photos or videos backing the answer |
| Signature | the supervisor’s signature, drawn on screen |
| Instruction | a text to read, no answer: a direction in the middle of the walkthrough (“Cut the power before proceeding”) |
Logic can be set on choice answers, a number or a slider.
In the field
Section titled “In the field”Choice answers adapt on their own: up to six answers, buttons; beyond, a searchable list. For one of your organization’s sets, you can decide with the question’s Display setting: Buttons or Dropdown list.
