Overview
A Text element is a static, non-question element that displays text to the User as they complete a Checklist. It captures no answer — its job is to give instructions, context, or a warning at exactly the right point in the flow.
Users must be Super Users or have the following Role to add or edit Checklist elements:
Checklists: Modify or Create
Why this matters: Guidance lands best where the work happens. A Text element puts the safety note, the method reminder, or the "stop if you see X" warning right in front of the operator at the relevant step — instead of in a manual they won't open mid-task — without adding a question they have to answer.
Adding a Text element
1. Open the Checklist editor
In the Mobaro Backend, go to Checklists and open or create a Checklist.
2. Add the element
Click Add an element and choose the Text element, then enter the text the User should see.
Best practice: Keep Text elements short and place them immediately before the step they apply to. A long block of text at the top of a Checklist tends to get skipped; a one-line reminder next to the relevant question gets read.
Settings compatibility

Logic | Yes | Show the text only when it's relevant — for example a warning that appears only on certain days or Locations. |
Answer / scoring | No | It's not a question, so it captures no answer and contributes no score. |

Frequently asked questions
Q: Does a Text element require a response?
A: No. It only displays text and doesn't ask the User for anything.
Q: Can I show a Text element only in certain situations?
A: Yes. Apply logic so it appears only on the right day, Location, or after a particular answer.
Q: Does it affect the Checklist's score?
A: No. Text elements don't carry points and don't change the score.
