  5. Under 'General Information', edit the following fields:
    Note: If the template you are editing is a Company level Inspection template, certain fields cannot be edited in the Project level Inspections tool. These fields are indicated by an icon-company-level.png  icon.
    • Name icon-company-level.png: Title your inspection. This will show up on your inspections register page and will help you differentiate between your inspections within your project. This is a required field.
    • Type icon-company-level.png: Choose from the list of inspection types added to the company (e.g. Safety). (Note: If you have not added inspection types to your project, see Configure Advanced Settings: Company Level Inspections. You will need to have 'Admin' level permissions on the Company level Inspections tool.)
    • Trade icon-company-level.png (Optional): Give your inspection a trade (e.g. Electrical, plumbing). (Note: Your company's trade list can be managed at your company level's Admin tab under 'Trade Configuration.) 
    • Company Description icon-company-level.png: Company level Inspection templates may include a separate description.
    • Description (Optional): Include any relevant details about the inspection.
    • Attachments: Attach any relevant files to the templates by clicking Attach Files. 
      Note: If you try to create an inspection template without a name or with a name that already exists, there will be an error message that details the reason. You can create an inspection with the same name as one in the Recycle Bin, but once you name it, you cannot restore a template in the Recycle Bin without first editing an inspection template to change the name.
  6. To edit existing sections and items on the template, click on the field you want to edit. 
    Note: Existing sections and items cannot be edited on Company level inspection templates in the Project level Inspections tool.
  7. To delete a template section or item, click the rubbish bin icon-delete-trash6.png icon to the right of the item heading.
  8. To bulk edit your inspection items, mark the checkbox next to the # symbol to select all the sections of your inspection.
