What is a checklist?

A checklist is a list of all the things you need to do, information that you want to find out, or things you need to take somewhere, which you make to ensure that you do not forget anything. For example you can make a checklist for a maintenance run for a property or asset like an elevator.

When you want to use templates the process always consist out of two steps:

  1. Create a checklist template; the sections and questions are defined here

  2. Apply this checklist in one of the three available places: Property, Area, or Asset.

How to create a checklist

You can create and generate checklists related to properties, areas, or assets using the checklist functionality. These can be made when you need them or can be linked to maintenance schedules. Before you can create a checklist, you need a checklist template.

Create a Template

  1. To create  a checklist template, use the “Checklist templates” button under the header “Maintenance.”

2. It will open the next screen. In this case, we don`t have any template yet and have to create a new one by clicking “New.”

3. By doing so, we get the following screen. Where we can enter details about the checklist and create questions, give the template a relevant name, and you can also write a short description of the list. There is a built-in version tracker to track changes and see which version is currently being used.

4. You must also define if the template concerns a Property, Area, or Asset. This choice will determine for which type of object the template is available. A template created for a Property can only be used by a Property and not by an Asset, for example.

5. After filling in the requested details, like in the screenshot, it`s time to add the questions to the template. To do this, press the button “Questions.”

Create a section
6. Here you have to click on the button “Create Section.” This will open a new screen. A Checklist exits out of one or more sections with questions.

7. In the following screen, you can give the section a name and a short description. By pressing the “Create question” button, you will get to the next screen, where you can create a question for your checklist template.

Create a question
8. In this screen, you can create your question. Depending on the kind of question, you can adjust the answer type. For example, if the question is regarding a date, choose as answer type “Date.”

  • Enter your question in the question box

  • There is the option to make a question mandatory or not.

  • Add text to the clarification box to clarify the question.

  • Also, it`s possible to add a comments field and a field to upload pictures.

9. Click ‘Save and return when you are done with this question.

10. You now return to the section you just created. Here you have two options:

  • You can add more question by clicking the ‘Question’ button

  • If you’re done with questions in this section. Click ‘Save and return’ to navigate back to the overview page. On this page you can create another section.

Info

A checklist template is always related to a type of object (mandatory field on the checklist template). This determines the choice of available checklist templates when generating the checklist from an object.

  • Property: when generating checklists for a property, all (and only) the templates for type 'Property' can be chosen.

  • Area: when generating checklists for a property, all (and only) the templates for type 'Property' can be chosen.

  • Asset: the available checklist templates are further specified via Product groups. You can define different Product groups. This is, for example, to avoid being able to choose a checklist related to an elevator inspection for a car.

Generate a checklist based on a template

For a specific object

Users can generate the checklists from a list of available templates via the tab “Related objects” on a property, area, or asset. Next, to navigate to the specific object via the menu, it is also possible to use the QR code scan option via the startBoard if assets are given a QR code.

Please take a look at the screenshot below, where you can find the checklist.

The 'Available checklist templates' button on the checklist tab shows all checklist templates available for the object / linked product group.

By selecting one or more checklist templates and using the ‘Create checklist work order’ function button, a checklist work order is generated, and the checklists are linked to this work order. You can directly enter and submit the checklist or assign the checklist work order to someone else.
