What are linked responses?
Linked responses allow you to link your questions in your templates to reduce repetitive input, save time, and keep your inspections consistent. Once linked, questions can be automatically populated with the same responses selected for an earlier question. For example, if multiple questions rely on the same response, linking them means your team only needs to answer once, making inspections faster and easier to complete.
You need at least two multiple-choice response questions in your template to set up linked responses.
Source: The question that your team needs to answer. This question isn't required by default, but you can mark it as required if needed. Keep in mind that if it's left unanswered, all target questions linked to it will also remain unanswered.
Target: The question(s) linked to the source question, which are automatically populated based on the responses selected in the inspection. Target questions can't be answered manually.
Published changes made to templates only apply to new inspections moving forward.
