The result type defines which data can be entered to perform or measure the check. You can choose between the following result types:
Result Type | Description |
Text | Free text |
Toggle | Select this result type if you have selected a measurement type that should be answered with "Yes" or "No", e.g. "Audit successful?" |
Number | Select the result type "Number" if you have selected a measurement type that is to be answered by a numerical value, |
Date | Select the result type "Date" if you have selected a measurement type that should be answered by entering a date, |
The unit of measurement determines the unit with which the result type is saved. In the example below, the measurement type "Weight" and the result type "Number" were selected. The result is saved in kilograms according to the specifications in the check.
Finally, you can define whether the check should be mandatory by placing a check mark next to the corresponding field.
