Checklist Types

Checklist types are used to categorise checklists into groups, typically based on the type of employee who will be responsible for completing the checklist. Every checklist template must have an assigned checklist type. Security groups can be specified for each checklist type to restrict which users will be able to see checklists of that type. In this way, checklists can be hidden from users to whom they are irrelevant.

Checklist types can be created, edited and deleted from the Checklist Types screen. New tenants start with the eight default checklist types shown in the screenshot below.

Editing a checklist type

In-line editing is enabled for the Checklist Type and Description fields and the Active checkbox within the grid. To edit the security groups for a checklist type, click the pencil icon in the Actions column to open the Edit Checklist Type window and make the necessary changes.

When an active checklist type is changed to inactive, users will no longer be able to assign it to new templates and existing templates will no longer be able to change to that type. However, existing templates which were already using the checklist type before it was made inactive will continue to use that type until they are changed to an active type.


Deleting a checklist type

To delete a checklist type, click the trash can icon in the Actions column.

📌Note: Checklist types can only be deleted if they are not assigned to any checklist templates (current or otherwise).
