Editable Lists

Editable Lists

Some lists in your inspections can be made editable, so you can add new list items, retire old list items, and re-order what your users see in drop down lists in the Hub and App.


Making a list editable is done for you by Clarinspect, but from that point onwards you can add items, reorder the list, and remove unused list items.


Email support@clarinspect.com with the inspection types you want updated and we will review them for you and discuss what can be done.


The Lists Tab

There is a Lists tab on the Work Package for Admins and Work Package Managers.



The Editable Lists column consists of all lists marked as editable on all inspection types on this Work Package.


If there are two lists with the same list name, the list items you will see here will come from the list on the most recently edited inspection type.


A list marked in blue has been edited.  All inspection types on this Work Package that use the list will show items from this list, rather than its own list


Editing Lists

Click on a list to edit it.

You can:

  • Add new list items

  • Re-order the list items

  • Choose to show or hide a list item

Add New List Item

To add a new item to a list simply go to that list.

Select EDIT

Type the new item to the list in the box at the bottom, then click ADD.

Re-Order the List

To change the order of the list, select the list. Click on the three line image next to your list item

Click and drag the item to the place you would like it be.

Hide a list item

As someone may have added a list item you no longer want to use, we do not remove it, we will hide it so it can not be selected again.


If an item is from your original app, you can not delete the item - you can hide it by unticking the blue tick to the right of the item.


If an item has been added on the hub, there will be a trash can icon. Click this to delete the item.

Top Tips

If a list item has a typo, then you can hide/delete it, and add a new one, or Clarinspect can fix the typo in the original list on the inspection type.


If you want to remove all edits from your list, just click Remove all Edits for the selected list.


Adding and removing list items, or changing whether a list item in the list is shown or hidden only affects this current Work Package, these edits do not carry over to other Work Packages.


Any changes do not affect existing data.


If a select field has no list items (an empty list) then the field is not displayed. You can use this to remove drop down fields from an inspection

Lists with Alternate Text

Some lists have an alternate text loaded - this means that the text seen in the app is different to the text that enters the report. When you are editing a list with alternate text you need to add both parts in.  The alternate text which enters the report can be edited independently to the list item.
