Set Grade Rules for Specific Checklist Questions

  • Updated

Overview

This feature gives you more control over how checklist results affect the final inspection grade.

Instead of relying only on the total number of failed checklist answers, you can define grade rules for specific questions, so that critical checks have a stronger and more precise impact on the final result.

When to Use This Feature

Use question-level grading when certain checklist items are critical and should have a stronger impact on the final grade, for example:

  • Food safety confirmations

  • Packaging compliance checks

  • Mandatory handling or sanitation requirements

How to Configure Question-Level Grades

  1. Go to Specs

  2. Open Standards

  3. Select the relevant standard

  4. Navigate to the Checklist tab

  5. Click Edit on the checklist grading row

  6. Configure the “All” row (if not already set)

  7. Review the checklist questions listed below

  8. For each question you want to control:

    • Place the ✓ marker in the grade column that represents a True result

  9. Click Save

How It Works

Each checklist question can influence the final inspection grade based on its result:

  • You can place the ✓ marker in only one grade column per question

  • The last grade acts as a fallback and cannot be edited

  • A question affects the grade only when the answer is False

  • If the answer is True, it will not downgrade the inspection

  • The “All” checklist rule still applies and works alongside question-level rules

Example

If your grades are A, B, and C:

  • Placing ✓ under A means:

    • True → the question keeps grade A

    • False → The question set the grade to B

  • Placing ✓ under B means:

    • True → the question keeps grade A

    • False → The question set the grade to C
