Got a checklist template built and ready to go? Email it as an attachment to support@conqahq.com and we'll get it loaded for you! If you need guidance around what can be included, keep reading.

To add checklist instances into your project structure, they will need to be available as templates in your project library.

The most simple checklists are made up of only a checklist name and checkpoints. To create a simple checklist use the below structure in Excel or Google Sheets, just renaming the checkpoints to match your requirements. Remember for each checkpoint in your template, add the word ‘checkpoint’ into the ‘type’ column.

type

How to build more complex Checklist Templates

To create more complex checklists, you can include different components in the type column of your template. These can include sections to break up your checklist, as well as checkpoints with different datapoints attached, like tickboxes, buttons, dropdowns and text input.

See here for a full list of the different components used in checklist templates: Template components
