Turn multiple selection on or off in multiple choice responses

Learn how to allow single or multiple selections for multiple choice questions via the web app and the mobile app to collect more accurate, relevant responses.

Why turn multiple selection on or off?

Multiple selection allows users to select more than one answer in a multiple choice question. This is helpful when a single option isn't enough, like during an inspection where users might find several issues at once. For example, if you discover multiple problems during a site check, you can select all that apply when answering "What issues are found during the inspection?"

By turning on multiple selection, you can capture the full picture of what happened, make your inspection results more accurate, and make sure you don't miss anything important. By turning it off, users can only choose one answer, which is ideal when you need a single outcome, such as recording pass or fail results, marking compliance status, or confirming whether equipment is safe to use.

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