This article explains how to complete different types of steps in Xenia checklists. You will learn how to handle each step type effectively to ensure accurate data collection and submission.

1. Step Types You'll See and How to Complete Each

Multiple Choice (Yes/No, Pass/Fail, custom options) Appears as labeled buttons — green for Yes/Pass, red for No/Fail in most configurations. Tap the button that matches your answer. Only one selection is allowed per step. If you selected the wrong answer, tap the correct one — it deselects the previous selection automatically.

Complete Multiple Choice And Binary Steps

Procedure (Checkbox) A simple checkbox or tap-to-confirm step. Tap it to mark the item complete. No text, no photo, just a confirmation that you did it.

Confirm Procedure Step Checkbox

Temperature A numeric input field with the unit (°F or °C) displayed. Tap the field — a numeric keypad opens. Type the reading from your thermometer. Tap done or continue. If the value is out of range, a prompt may appear immediately requiring a photo or follow-up.

Number Answer Same as temperature — tap the field, numeric keypad, type your value, continue. Used for counts, quantities, pressures, and other numeric readings.

Enter Number Step Value

Text Field A free-text input. Tap the field — a keyboard opens. Type your response. Be specific — "Cooler at 36°F, within range" is more useful than "fine." Tap done or the next step to continue.

Fill Text Field Step

Take Photo The camera opens automatically when you reach this step. Take a live photo of whatever the step is asking you to document. Tap confirm. The photo attaches and you continue. Cannot use camera roll.

Capture Photo For Accountability

Photo Annotation Camera opens, you take a photo, then you get annotation tools — circles, arrows, text. Use these to mark up the photo and point to the specific area of concern. Common for damage reports or defect identification.

Signature A signature pad appears. Draw your signature on screen with your finger. Tap confirm when done.

Date/Time A date picker or time picker opens. Scroll to the correct value and select. Used for recording when something happened or when equipment was last serviced.

Cost A numeric input formatted for currency. Tap, type the dollar amount, continue.

Location (Select) A dropdown of locations from your workspace. If you're completing this checklist from a project task, it's already pre-filled with your store — don't change it. If you're doing an ad hoc submission, tap and select your location from the list.

Dropdown A list of predefined options, sometimes with multi-select enabled. Tap to open the list, tap your selection(s), confirm.

Geostamp No interaction required from you — the app captures your GPS coordinates automatically in the background. You'll see a confirmation when it's captured.
