Dynamic Multiple and Choice fields help
I need to set up a commission check list system for equipment and it seems to me the best way to do this is with Dynamic type choice fields.  To give an example:
 
I have an Item in my Inventory table eg:  A TV
 
Various tests are required during commission phase.  For example:
 
Under Equipment Tests there could be:
 Is it level Y/N
 Is the bracket secure Y/N
 
Under Video Tests we could have:
 Display Image Y/N
 HDMI  Input Y/N
 
Under Audio Tests we could have:
 Speakers L/R Phase Y/N
 Microphones Level Set Y/N
 
And so on.
 
In my Inventory Table I would then pick the various Tests that apply.  So a Microphone would not require an Equipment Check for example but it would need the Microphone Level in the Audio Test group.
 
I would welcome any advice, ideas, suggestions on how best to set up the table structure in terms of relationships.
 
My thinking so far is:
 
Parent = Inventory (TV, Microphone...)
     Child = Test Type (Equipment, Video, Audio....)
         Child = Test For (SPK Phase, Mic Level.....)

I already have the Inventory Table

I don't think you need a second child layer "Test For (SPK ... " The Test data can be part of the first child layer. I think I would have one parent table Inventory and child tables for the concrete Type Tables Equipment, Video, Audio . And those Type Tables do have the test data as well.

Here is one possibility for a solution.
To add tests you click on the Add Tests button and then select the tests according to test category.
Let me know if you have any questions.
