Add templates to actions
Learn how to add templates to actions via the web app and the mobile app.
Why add templates to actions?
Creating an action allows you to identify and track tasks as a team. Typically, an inspection is needed to conduct a more detailed observation before completing a task. By adding templates to action types, your team can have readily available templates to streamline task completion and ensure that details are captured accurately.
By default, organizations can't add templates to actions or start inspections directly from an action unless they turn on the option to link templates to an action type.
If you have "Actions: Settings" permission, you can turn on the option to link templates to an action type. This allows your team to add a template and start an inspection directly from an action.
What you'll need
You can add up to 25 templates to an action, one at a time.

Frequently asked questions
No, if you don't have access to a specific template, it won’t show up as an option when creating or updating an action.
They will not be able to view the template or any inspections started from the action. Only users with access to the relevant templates or inspections can see and interact with them. However, if you have the "Conduct, edit" template access level at a minimum, you can give template and inspection access to groups and users.
If an added template is archived or deleted, action assignees will no longer be able to start an inspection from that action. To continue using the action, you'll need to remove the archived or deleted template and add a new template.
