How To Create Combo Questions

Combo questions are great for limiting the types of answers that inspectors may choose for a question. A question like “How was the weather?” could result in unnecessarily long answers. In order to keep it simple, you can use a combo to specify a limited number of answers and give your reporting more consistency – plus, save time for your inspectors. This tutorial applies to the following modules:

1. Using your computer, log into CityReporter web with your city code, username, and password. Select a module and click the Setup button at the top of the screen, as shown. You must have Administrator permissions in order to access the Setup button.
