InspectARide lets you create your own checklists/templates and there is no limit to how many you can have. With that said, one question that gets asked is: How many should I have?
There isn’t a one size fits all answer to this as it will vary based on the situation. Sometimes it makes sense to have a single master template that you use for all of your inspections, and other times it’s better to create a handful of templates.
Having One Template
If you always inspect the same items no matter the situation, then having one template that you use each time may be your best bet. This will allow you to simplify the process and can even make it faster because it eliminates the need to think through which template to use. It also makes it easier for you to get to know your template inside and out which can make a big difference in speed.
Having Multiple Templates
If you do more than one type of inspection then you’ll definitely want more than one template. You will be much better off having a template setup for each type of inspection you do than trying to create a single template that may have lines or entire sections that don’t apply to each inspection it is being used for. Having lines/sections that don’t apply to a vehicle you’re inspecting in your template will either make it so that the inspection takes longer (since you’ll have to mark each of these as not applicable) or you’ll end up with a report that looks like it’s incomplete since not everything will be filled out.
