This guide will show you how to edit your checklist using the new checklist editor.
How to create a new Checklist
Checklists contain all inspectable areas, while inspection types specify inspections using that checklist. For instance, one checklist can serve multiple inspection types like Move-In, Move-Out, and Periodic, eliminating the need for identical checklists. A new checklist is required only if the areas and items are unique.
In the SnapInspect Web App, navigate to the Checklist section.
Select the red "New Checklist" button at the top of the page.
Enter a name for your checklist.
Click the green "Create" button (bottom-right).
Optional Settings:
Enable “Remember Asset Layout” to save layout for future inspections.
Enable “Calculation” if using scoring in a custom-built report.
How to add Inspection Types
SnapInspect will auto-create an inspection type using your checklist name.
To add more, Click on the "+" icon next to the first inspection type.
Enter a 'Name' and click 'Create.'
Please Note:
Inspection types also have a "Remember Layout" option for layout flexibility.
If no inspection type appears, refresh the page.
