      Hello Lingaiah, Thanks for the blog. Could you give me more info about the relationship between equipment checklists and work order? Can I select which checklists are related to my workorder in R3? Could you show me some examples?

      I have a second doubt, in the template creation it is mandatory to select thresholds, but if we want to use the checklist just for a safety verification or for an inspection round, why are threshold for? I cannot see the use of them in these cases.

      Thanks a lot
