Object Inspection Template

A template is an inspection form. It groups attributes under headings, says which answers are required, which print, the default answer, and which photos the inspection must carry.

What it is for​

On Object Inspection the user picks a template; its headings and attributes become the form, and each photo ticked here becomes required.

Rules on save:

  • A heading may appear once.
  • An attribute may appear once under a heading.
  • Required Mandatory cannot be ticked on a yes/no attribute.

Scenarios​

  • A container depot inspects every gate-in. Template "Gate in" with headings "Outside" and "Inside", photos front and back ticked.
