Technician Vehicle Inspections/Checklists

To perform a Vehicle Inspection Checklist, you can either start a new one or open an existing checklist that has been pre-assigned to a Jobsheet by the Service Advisor.

Opening a New or Existing Vehicle Inspection Checklist

    From the Jobsheet menu (three dots), select Vehicle Inspections action to open existing ones.
    If there is already an inspection attached to the Jobsheet, it will automatically open. If not, the system will prompt you to create a new checklist.
    Select Yes to create a new inspection. You will be prompted to choose from a list of predefined vehicle inspections. Select the appropriate inspection and press OK.
    You can also create a new one directly by selecting Create Vehicle Inspection from the menu.

Completing the Checklist

    Once in the Vehicle Inspection Checklist, use your touch screen to select options based on a traffic light system:
  • Green for good
  • Amber for attention needed
  • Red for urgent issues
    You can add additional details by typing in the available text boxes.
    When finished, press the back button to automatically save your entries.

Adding Pictures

    To add or view pictures, select the menu option (three dots) within the inspection to access the picture menu.
    In the menu, you can view existing pictures by selecting Document Media or Vehicle Media & change descriptions, or add new ones by selecting Upload Picture or Upload Line Picture.
    You can also take pictures using your device’s camera by using the options Take Picture or Take Line Picture.

Finalising the Checklist

    Once the checklist is complete, press the back button. The system will ask if the checklist is finished. Press “Yes” if you’re done, or “No” if you need to return to it later.
    Or simply click on the menu option, and select Confirm action.
    The service advisor will now see that a Vehicle Inspection Checklist is awaiting confirmation.
