Trigger Warning
If you want to be alerted when an operator answers a question with a certain answer you can do so by clicking the trigger warning if answered button. For example, if your question was "Is there any curb damage ?" then you would want to be alerted if the operator answered “Yes”. By adding a trigger warning, anytime this question is answered yes it will be flagged. In the service history report the flagged answers to this question will have a warning icon beside them.

If your question is “Is there any noticeable damage?” and the operator answers “Yes”, a follow-up question like “Please upload a photo of the damage” can automatically appear.
