Prior to creating an inspection template, ensure that all the required fields (Required group, severity, questions, etc.) have been configured.
Create the "Required Group" for assigning corrective actions. Groups are used to designate someone's role in the inspection. Clients often choose to have one group, Responsible Party, to keep things simple, but multiple groups may be created to designate which questions go to certain individuals. For example, within one template questions may go to three groups: EHS, Responsible Party, and Maintenance. The individual associated with this group is selected at the beginning of the inspection.

Questions for each audit are organized into Categories. These categories appear in tabs on the web and android applications or dropdowns on iOS devices. They allow users to organize inspection data and parse out areas of concern when creating and viewing inspection findings.
For radio selection questions, clients may configure Responses outside of the traditional 'Yes, No, N/A'. This can be helpful for clients whose users speak multiple languages or for those who like to capture 'Corrected Onsite' deficiencies.
The Severity for inspection questions is configured to qualitatively analyze the deviations and provide escalation options for inspectors.
