Creating Sections
Sections in uAuditor templates are used to group related inspection questions within a page. They help organize checklists logically and improve the inspection experience for users performing inspections in the field.
Well-structured sections make inspections faster, clearer, and more consistent across locations.
What Are Sections in Inspection Templates?
Sections act as containers for inspection questions inside a template page.
Each section can include:
- related checklist questions
- compliance checkpoints
- equipment verification steps
- operational procedures
- safety requirements
Sections help inspectors understand what they are evaluating at each stage of the inspection.
Why Sections Are Important
Creating sections helps organizations:
- organize inspection questions clearly
- improve inspector navigation during inspections
- reduce checklist confusion
- support structured reporting 📊
- align inspections with operational workflows
- simplify template maintenance
Sections make templates easier to use and manage at scale.
When to Use Sections
Sections are recommended when inspections include:
- multiple inspection areas
- equipment groups
- safety verification checkpoints
- hygiene procedures
- operational steps
- compliance requirements
They help separate inspection topics into meaningful groups.

- Open the Templates module
- Select an existing template or create a new one
- Open the desired template page
- Click Add Section
- Enter a section name
