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.

Take note

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.

Published changes made to templates only apply to new inspections moving forward.
