You have the option of choosing from the 3 following types:

  • Checkbox - Easily check off completed items.

  • Text - Document notes, readings, findings, or any other written information.

  • Pass/Flag/Fail - Indicate the status of a component with a green, yellow, or red indicator.

  • You can select one of the three options by selecting the box that says Type, located on the left of your screen.
