Combo questions are great for limiting the types of answers that inspectors may choose for a question. A question like “How was the weather?” could result in unnecessarily long answers. In order to keep it simple, you can use a combo to specify a limited number of answers and give your reporting more consistency – plus, save time for your inspectors. This tutorial applies to the following modules:
- Facilities & Buildings
- Fire/Code Enforcement
- Parks & Playgrounds
- Permits & Construction
- Roads & Highways
- Sportfields & Tracks
- Work Orders
- Workplace Safety
