The Checklist Editor is the RayQC interface for the manipulation of checklist structures and settings. To display a checklist template within the Editor environment:
•Use the open checklist tile from the Dashboard on the Home screen.
•Click on one of the template items from the Recent list on the Home screen.
•Use the Open view from the FILE menu and select the template file type.
•Hit Control + Shift + O to browse the Windows system for a template file.
Either way, the selected file (checklist or project) is opened within the Checklist Viewer. To switch to the Editor interface, use the EDIT button, available from the swipe bar at the bottom of the application window area.
