Operations Templates in Xenia provide a flexible tool for creating forms, checklists, logs, inspections, and SOPs to streamline your workflows. The Xenia template builder offers various step types that can be added to a template to suit your specific needs. This article will provide an overview of each step type and their recommended use cases.

Here is a quick video below on how to access step types and edit the current step type of a step:

Overview of Step Types:

Checkbox:
The Checkbox step type is ideal for creating short step-by-step punch list items. It is perfect for creating to-do lists and standard operating procedures (SOPs). Users can check off completed tasks, ensuring efficient task management and progress tracking.

 

Pass/Fail:
The Pass/Fail step type is designed to facilitate inspections and audits. It allows users to indicate whether an item has passed or failed. If an item fails, the user can add a note or photo to provide additional context. Failed items are also tracked in reporting, enabling effective issue resolution and analysis.

 

Take Photo:
The Take Photo step type enables users to capture images directly within the template. It is useful for documenting visual evidence or capturing photos for further analysis and reporting.

 

Text Answer:
The Text Answer step type prompts team members to respond to a step with text. This versatile step type allows for open-ended responses and detailed explanations, making it suitable for gathering qualitative data and descriptive feedback.

 

Number Answer:
The Number Answer step type prompts team members to respond to a step with a numerical value and units. It is useful for collecting quantitative data, such as measurements, quantities, or other numeric information.

 

Temperature:
The Temperature step type prompts team members to respond to a step with a temperature value, allowing for precise temperature recording. Users can choose between Fahrenheit (°F), Celsius (°C), or Kelvin (K) units, making it suitable for temperature-sensitive tasks or inspections.

 

Cost:
The Cost step type prompts team members to respond to a step with a dollar amount. It is ideal for tracking expenses, budgeting, or cost-related data. Users can input the amount in USD, Euros (€), or other relevant currency symbols.

 

Multiple Choice:
The Multiple Choice step type prompts team members to respond to a multiple-choice question. It offers predefined answer options, allowing users to select a single choice. This step type is useful for gathering standardized responses, conducting surveys, or creating questionnaires. Additionally, you can mark specific multiple-choice answers as "Flagged Answers," which compiles the flagged responses into a comprehensive report for further analysis.

 

Signature:

The Signature step type prompts team members to provide their digital signature as a form of confirmation or authorization. Users can electronically sign the step, indicating their approval or acknowledgment. This step is useful for processes that require formal verification and sign off.

 

Conclusion:
Xenia's Operations Templates provide a wide range of step types to cater to your specific needs. Each step type serves a unique purpose, from creating punch lists and conducting inspections to gathering qualitative and quantitative data. By leveraging these step types effectively, you can streamline your operations, enhance collaboration, and gain valuable insights from your data.
