  • 1.  Inspection Form Best Practice

    Posted Tue January 16, 2024 04:57 PM

    I am creating an inspection form with 50+ questions that logically have a natural group of about 5 sets of data.  I can create 50 questions with one response per question and use the group function.  Is there a downside to creating 5 "questions" and having 10 responses in the question.  It would look similar to the user as grouping?

    Hi Eric,

    We have an Inspection Form that has 80 fields (questions) that are grouped into 9 questions (sets of data). We have grouped the questions together so that they are in logical groupings and tried to make sure that the end user mainly picks from an options list for each answer (there are only two questions where the end user has to type anything and we also have questions where the user can attach photos). In our instance, we have found that very little end user training has been required (not much beyond showing the users where they are) and they are all completing them without issue. We also process the forms once they are completed to drive further behaviour in the system, which (in our use case) was one of the main reasons for using them.
