Object Inspection Attributes
An inspection attribute is one question asked when an object is inspected: "tyre tread depth", "spare wheel present", "fuel level". Its type decides the answer: number, decimal, yes/no or text.
What it is for
Attributes are arranged into inspection forms on Object Inspection Template and answered on Object Inspection. The Value tab lists the answers a list-type attribute offers.
A yes/no attribute cannot be made required on a template (the template save refuses it).
