Getting started
Categories and lines can be set as optional for a template. This is done in the Template editor. When a category or line is marked as optional, it will not appear in the default list when you start an inspection with the template, but it will be readily available to be added in. This is most commonly used for categories or lines that you need on occasion, but do not want to be a part of every inspection.
Marking a category as optional

Once the category has been marked as Optional, the category will show an eye with a strike through it as a symbol to show that the category is optional.
