Why use number response questions?
Number response questions are great for capturing precise and quantifiable data while conducting an inspection. You can even specify the unit of measurement you want to use, such as distance, volume, time, weight, or electricity. Standardizing units in your number response questions eliminates guesswork and misinterpretation and ensures everyone in your team records every piece of critical information in the same way.
Supported units of measurement
You can use the following units in your number response questions to standardize captured values.
Category | Unit |
|---|---|
Distance | inches, feet, miles, millimeters, centimeters, meters, kilometers |
Volume | milliliters, liters, gallons, cubic meters |
Time | hours, minutes, seconds |
Temperature | Fahrenheit, Celsius, Kelvin |
Weight | ounces, pounds, tonnes, grams, kilograms |
Electricity | amperes, hertz, ohms, volts, watts |
Others | candelas, cycles, percent, pounds per square inch, mole |
Units are optional and not applicable for temperature and calculation response questions.
