Inspection Checklist

Topics in this section:

* An application user must have a user role with View/Modify permission to the DVIR Checklist feature to add, edit, or delete a part or defect.

Viewing the checklist

The Inspection Checklist page allows for customization of the lists of parts and defects from which the driver can select when creating a driver vehicle inspection report (DVIR). Authorized application users can add, modify, or delete parts and defects associated with each Asset Type. Authorized application users can also indicate which defects should be identified as high priority concerns.

To view the checklist:

  1. Select an Asset Type from the Asset Type drop-down list.
  2. Click the View button.

* The drop down list contains all asset types within the organization configured from the Asset Types page under Setup. However, the mobile application only supports trailer and vehicle inspections. The Inspection Checklist page allows the user to define checklists for other Asset Types to use with third party maintenance applications or transcription via the Inspection Report page.

What do the icons next to each defect mean?

These icons indicate the relative priority assigned to the defect:

These same icons are used in the defects column on the Inspection Reports page and for the driver breadcrumb view for Mapping. See also Adding a Defect.

Why do some parts exist that cannot be deleted?

The USDOT requires that a driver vehicle inspection report shall cover, at minimum, certain parts and accessories. Therefore, these parts cannot be deleted from the Inspection Checklist.
