Save a run as a template

Sometimes a one-off inspection — built ad-hoc, run once for a particular reason — turns out to be useful enough to repeat. Rather than re-typing the items, save the run as a new template.

  1. Open the inspection (run).
  2. From the kebab menu (⋯), click Save as template.
  3. Give the new template a name and (optionally) a description.
  4. Save.

A new template appears in the Templates list with the same sections and items. The original run is unchanged.

  • An incident investigation triggers an ad-hoc check (“audit all workshop ladders right now”). The check finds gaps. You want to schedule the same check quarterly going forward.
  • A subcontractor inducts a new site with a one-off walkthrough. After-the-fact, you realise it’s the perfect new starter template.
  • You ran an inspection from a template, then heavily customised it for one site. The custom version is now better than the original and should become the reusable template.
  • Sections and their order.
  • Items and their order, including notes-required flags.
  • The template title and category (you’ll usually rename).

What does not get copied:

  • Pass / Fail / N-A responses from the run.
  • Notes from the run.
  • Attachments from the run.
  • Linked actions from the run.
