Create repeat sections
Learn how to create repeat sections in your templates via the web app and the mobile app.
What are repeat sections?
Repeat sections allow you to duplicate the same set of questions as many times as needed. This can be helpful if your team needs to inspect the same type of item multiple times a day, preventing users from needing to start new inspections.
What you'll need
Create a repeat section
Select Templates from the menu on the left-hand side.
Click the template and select Edit template in the side panel.
Create a new section or select an existing one.
Check Repeat this section box on the section name's right-hand side. If you want users to answer questions within the repeat section at least once in every inspection, click
on the right-hand side and select Required.You can add new questions or drag and drop existing ones into the repeat section for users to dynamically repeat them in inspections.
Click Publish on the upper-right of the page to publish the template. If you're not ready to publish the template, you can go back to the templates list and come back when you're ready.
Open the mobile app.
Tap
Inspections at the bottom of your screen.Select Templates tab at the top of your screen.
Tap the template and select Edit template from the pop-up options.
Create a new section or select an existing one.
Tap
on the section name's right-hand side and select Repeat this section.If you want users to answer questions within the repeat section at least once in every inspection, select Required.
You can add new questions or drag and drop existing ones into the repeat section for users to dynamically repeat them in inspections.
Tap Publish on the upper-right of your screen to publish the template. If you're not ready to publish the template, you can go back to the templates list and come back when you're ready.
Published changes made to templates only apply to new inspections moving forward.
Limitations
If the inspection date, person, document number, and inspection location responses are inside a repeat section, these responses won't auto-populate when you conduct an inspection.
Although there's no limit on the number of times a section can be repeated in an inspection, an excessive number of repeat sections may impact the app's performance.
