Template components

See the list below for the components you can use when creating a checklist template.  

Remember - checklist templates can be as simple or as complex as you like.

Component				What does it do?	What does it look like?
checklist				This is where you specify the name of the checklist. It is a required field on all checklist templates
	section			This breaks your checklist up into collapsible sections. These are not necessary, but when used, each section must contain at least one checkpoint.
		checkpoint		This is a necessary component, all checklist templates must include at least one checkpoint. A checkpoint is where you can set the status, add comments and attach files.
		checkpoint-no-status		This can be used the same way as a checkpoint, the only difference is that it does not have a status attached. You might use this when you want to attach photos but not have them linked to a PASS/FAIL
All of the below datapoints must be attached to a checkpoint. You do this by simply making sure there is a checkpoint in your checklist template.  The data point will then attach to the above checkpoint.
			*button	You can set specific button values, of which only one can be selected at a time. Specify these in the 'values' column, separating each with a comma (e.g: 1, 2, 3)
			date	Provides a date input box with a calendar picker to select a date
			*dropdown	This gives multiple specific answer types, of which only one (or none) can be selected at time. Specify these in the 'values' column, separating each with a comma (e.g: One, Two, Three)
			signoff	This prompts for a signature to be added, either on site, or a digital request for a signature to be sent via email to someone off site. If required these can be made mandatory.
			label	This is a text label that shows under the parent checkpoint
			number	A short text field allowing for only numerical input
			*radio	You can set specific response values, of which only one can be selected at a time. Specify these in the 'values' column, separating each with a comma (e.g: A, B, C)
			note	A free text input field that allows users to write notes and add comments to the above checkpoint
			tickbox	Add a single check box that can be checked or left empty

For components marked with an * you will need to specify the options in the ‘values’ column of your checklist template.
