| Long text | A multi-line box | No |
| Number | A numeric keypad | No |
| Date | A date picker | No |
| Photo | Opens the camera or gallery, then Annotate photo (draw on it) to mark the problem in red | No |
| Signature (drawn + name) | Type the full name and sign on a pad with a finger or mouse | No |
| Geolocation | Captures GPS coordinates | No |
| Barcode / QR scan | A box to Scan or type the code, with a Scan button | No |
For dropdown, single and multiple choice, enter the options one per line.
Signature
The drawing is saved as an image with the name and the time it was signed, and shown on the report and PDF. See Signatures and attestation.
Barcode / QR scan
Use it for a sample tube barcode, a medicine batch, a wristband or an equipment tag. Tap Scan to take a photo of the code; CareList reads it where the browser supports barcode reading (for example Chrome on Android). Otherwise, or if no code is found, type the code in the box.
What happens when a Pass / Fail answer is Fail
The inspector is asked to describe the problem and can attach a photo. A deviation is recorded, and any matching automation rule runs.
