Select one of RentCheck’s standard templates to see what’s included and view template details.
After opening the template you will see the Template Details page. The Template Details page contains a header and three columns: Sections, Features, and Feature Details. You can think of an inspection as containing several sections. Each section contains one or more features with questions (optionally) residing within a feature. An example of a feature would be Walls within the Dining Room section.
Header
To the left, are the template’s external and internal names, as well as its status (Live or Draft).
To the right, you can see buttons to Publish/Unpublish and Edit Template. Clicking Edit Template opens the template for editing.
On the right you’ll also see a 3-dot dropdown with options to Edit Template Details and Copy Template.
Sections column
The Sections column contains a list of all of the possible rooms and areas that can be configured on the property.
Additional sections (independent of a property’s room/area configuration) can also be added to a template (e.g. Safety). Sections manually added to a template will always be present on inspections created from the template, irrespective of rooms/areas present at a given property.
The order of the sections listed is the same order the sections will appear any time that inspection is created using the template. You can change the order using the dragand-drop interface.
Selecting a section will display the list of features (in the Features column) for the section.
Features column
The Features column contains a list of features (such as walls or windows) for a given section.
The order of the features listed is the same order the features will appear any time that inspections are created from the template. You can change the feature order with the drag-and-drop interface.
Selecting a feature will display the list of questions (in the Feature Details column) for the feature.
Please note that if there are zero features set for a given section, then the section will not be shown in inspections created from the template.
Feature Details column
The Feature Details column displays the feature name and instructions as well as the questions being asked for a given feature. Yes/no, open text, multiple choice, and asset capture questions can be added.
You can also configure feature settings:
Feature condition rating
This setting controls whether a condition rating prompt (Good / Fair / Poor) will be visible and shown for the feature. This setting defaults to ‘On’.
Number of photos required
This setting controls the minimum number of photos you would like to require for the feature. This setting defaults to ‘1’.
Reference photo(s)
One or more reference photos can also be uploaded to help residents and others performing the inspection better understand the type of photo(s) you would like for them to capture. If added, a link to view example images will be included with the features’s instructions.
