Create temperature response questions
Learn how to add and format temperature response questions via the web app and the mobile app.
Why use temperature response questions?
Temperature response questions are a great way to note down and measure the temperatures of assets. When the temperature readings fall below or exceed your preset ranges, you can add logic fields to trigger follow-up questions, require actions, require evidence, and send notifications depending on users' answers.
Format options
Thresholds
Temperature responses outside of the threshold will be highlighted in red, but they won't be considered flagged items. You can select any of the following options:
Between: Temperature value should be between a certain range, with the first number of the range being a lower temperature value (colder) and the second number being a higher temperature value (hotter).
Greater than or equal to: Temperature value should be greater than or equal to a certain threshold.
Less than or equal to: Temperature value should be less than or equal to a certain threshold.
Temperature scale
You can select either Celsius or Fahrenheit. The default option is °C.
°C: Sets the temperature scale to read as Celsius.
°F: Sets the temperature scale to read as Fahrenheit.
While there's no limit to the number of decimal digits you can enter as a response, please note that only the first four digits will be included in PDF and Word reports.

Frequently asked questions
Temperature units in number response questions are ideal for manually capturing temperature data while conducting inspections. If you prefer Bluetooth thermometers to capture the temperature or would like to set up a temperature threshold so any response that falls outside of your specified range is highlighted in inspections and reports, it's best to use temperature response questions instead.
