Would you like your comment to be automatically checked, active, and included in every report without the need for manual checking? If so, the "Default to Checked" option would be a fantastic choice. This feature is commonly used by inspectors for general information comments, such as the client's name, disclaimers, or explanations that they always want to be included in the report.

By selecting the "Default to Checked" option, you can ensure that any checkbox comments will automatically appear on your reports. This particular option is only applicable to comments with the checkbox answer type. If you need a refresher on the various comment types, feel free to check out this helpful article.

This particular option can only be accessed through the template editor, not the report editor. But don't worry- once you enable it, your comments will automatically appear as completed or 'checked on.' for future reports like so:
