The List observation is a functionality within InSkill that prompts the user to choose all that apply from a provided list. As with other observations, List is designed to either gather information from the user or to better situate the user in the procedure pathway.
An example of this can be the following prompt "What noise is the machine making?"
-- Loud bang
-- Light tapping noise
-- Repeating Beep
-- Rattling Noise
The user can then choose which options apply to their situation after which the problem could be escalated with these notes to better prepare the contracted technician to come in and fix the issue with the appropriate tools.
Please follow these instructions to learn how to use a List observation:
