Creating Checklist Procedures

Checklist Procedures allow you to dynamically define the following:

Answers: defines which answers are presented to the operator for a specific question.

Inclusion: defines whether the question is displayed to the operator in the checklist.

Validation: defines whether the chosen/entered answer is the "right" answer.

This is done by calling a stored procedure which will return values dependent upon the current situation.
