Create Templates

Audit Plus provides a comprehensive template editor for creating audit templates. Templates serve as the foundation for all audits performed in the app.

Getting Started

To create a new template:

  1. Tap the plus button (+) in the Templates screen to display the creation menu.
  2. Choose from three template creation options:

Template Creation Options

1. Blank Template

  • Creates a completely empty template
  • You’ll be prompted to enter a template name
  • Optionally specify a version number (defaults to 1.0)
  • Best for creating custom templates from scratch

2. Create from Samples

  • Browse a library of pre-built sample templates
  • Choose from various industry-standard templates
  • Customize the selected sample to meet your specific needs
  • Ideal for getting started quickly with proven template structures

3. Generate with AI

  • Use artificial intelligence to create templates from natural language descriptions
  • Simply describe what kind of audit you need
  • AI generates a complete template with appropriate questions and sections
  • Requires API key configuration (Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google AI)
  • If no API key is configured, you’ll be directed to AI settings first

Template Creation Process

  1. Name Your Template - Enter a descriptive name that clearly identifies the template’s purpose
  2. Set Version - Specify a version number to track template iterations (optional)
  3. Tap Create - The template will be created and saved
  4. Template Editor Opens - You’ll be automatically taken to the template editor to begin customizing your template

After Creation

Once your template is created, the template editor launches automatically, allowing you to:

  • Add sections and questions
  • Configure compliance thresholds
  • Set up custom properties
  • Define completion actions
  • Add password protection if needed

Templates are automatically saved as you work, ensuring no progress is lost. The template will sync across all your devices via iCloud.
