Checklist – Sections/Groups
Now we move to the Groups card. This is where you can add Sections/Groups/Questions to your checklist. If you Build New Checklist this will all be empty. If you Build From Library, it will contain the content from the Template you selected.
There are 3 Levels when adding Checklist content:
You can have multiple Sections containing multiple groups each with their own question set.
Alternatively you can have a single Section with a single Group containing all the relevant Questions.
SECTION AND GROUPS CAN BE MARKED AS NOT APPLICABLE IN BULK. If the Section/Group is not applicable, use this so you don’t have to individually answer the questions.
Click the Pencil Icon to start adding Sections/Groups/Questions to your Checklist.
The General Section is there by default, if you won’t be adding separate Sections, please use this to start adding Groups.
When adding a New Section you can choose a Section Name, as well as add a Description.
The same for adding Groups.
Section and Group name are mandatory, but description is optional.
For this guide we will be building a Checklist using the Default Section, with 2 groups containing 2 Questions each.
