Account Checklist Templates

Account checklist templates allow you to create one template and use it in multiple projects. Account checklists can be copied and edited in projects by members with Create, View and Create, and Full Control permissions. Account level checklists are great for routine checklists such as a standard safety inspection.

Tip:

Account-level checklist templates do not support default assignees or auto-issue creation. Use project-level checklist templates to utilize these features. Click here to learn more.
