Hi all,

I work for a hospitality group, the templates are done by head office based in repeat sections.

We have a “Fire extinguishing equipment” template, on the first page we add the building information, in the second it is the repeat section, each time we need to add a new item and fill the required information, for example

Number/Location: 1 Main electrical room

Type of extinguisher: CO2

Condition: Pass

I was planning to add a Deep link to an NFC to fill all the information except the condition one but the Deep link systen requires and item id that we won't have, could it be possible to add a function to add a new repeat section as per template?

Maybe by using numbers to define the items and ignore the extra numbers in case too many are in the Deep link, like this:

iauditor://audit/<audit_id>/new_repeatsection/<repeatsection_id>/item1=<1 Main electrical room>/item2=<CO2>/item3=<>/item4=<ignoreme>

The answer is not always text input but a selection, I don't know how you handle them internally but it could be a number from the list as well, instead of CO2 it will be #2 for example.

Regards

Hey ​@miguejim,

 

Thank you for the post. Unfortunately, this is not currently possible in the platform, but it is a brilliant idea and one we will put on the list for consideration.

 

Can I ask, do you always know the number of fire extinguishers you are going to be inspecting in advance? The reason I ask is we are working on a tables feature, in which the template editor can set the number of rows for the inspector… I was thinking this might help with your use case, once it’s released.

 

Thank you,
Karen

Hi Karen,

Yes, each property team knows the number and type of items but the head office doesn’t want to tailor the inspections to each building, as they are too many different templates and buildings.

Also, I don’t know if my approach would work if the inspection is scheduled but not open or if it is already open but not finished, may it will open a new one instead of appending items to the one already ongoing.

Thank you anyway.
