Update custom response sets
Learn how to update custom response sets in the Template Editor via the web app and the mobile app.
What are custom response sets?
Custom response sets are multiple-choice response sets you can use within a specific template. With SafetyCulture, any new template you create includes default multiple-choice response sets such as "Yes, No, N/A" for questions. You can also create specific responses to your use case, whether it is a list of items or employee names.
What you'll need
Published changes made to templates only apply to new inspections moving forward.
Responses in inspections
Responses in an inspection can be presented differently depending on the number and size of a custom response set. By default, responses are shown as tiles/cards in an inspection. If the question or its custom response set has any of the following attributes, the interface would convert into a dropdown menu selection:
The question has "Multiple selection" enabled.
The custom response set has more than 5 responses.
At least one of the responses in the custom response set has more than 30 characters.
Please note that custom response sets are template-specific. If you want to create response sets that can be used in any template, you can create Global Response Sets instead.
Kindly note that deleted responses will show up as placeholders in Analytics when filtering data by inspection questions and responses instead of the actual label.
