These field types are essential components of Chekhub’s digital checklists and systems. Each serves a specific purpose in capturing and managing data effectively. Each field type includes space for a description and optional media upload.
Section
A grouping mechanism used to organize steps within a checklist. Sections help in categorizing content, making it easier for users to navigate and complete.
Checklist
A field type that allows users to mark off items from a predefined list of tasks or options. It's typically used to ensure all necessary steps or requirements are addressed.
Text
Allows users to enter free-form text. This field can be used for open-ended responses, comments, or any other textual input.
Numeric
A field specifically for numerical input up to 16 digits.
Swipe
A mobile-friendly field type where users make a selection or decision by swiping in a specific direction. It's often used for quick yes/no decisions or to like/dislike options.
Checkbox
A binary field that can be either checked or unchecked. It represents a single choice, typically used for agreements, confirmations, or enabling/disabling options.
Single-Choice
A field that allows users to select only one option from a list of predefined choices. This is commonly used in forms where a single, exclusive choice is required.
Multiple Select
Similar to Single-Choice but allows users to select more than one option from the list. It's used when multiple choices are applicable.
Decision
A special field type designed for making choices that often influence subsequent content or actions within the form. Each choice requires configuration of a respective branch. The steps in each branch will only be shown if the decision step value matches the specified formula.
Ticket
A field for generating subsequent tickets. The ticket template and naming convention may be configured when building the checklist. Users are provided space to enter a ticket message as well as an optional attachment field*. Tickets generated by this field are created upon checklist submission and are linked to their ‘parent’ by default.

Time
