Check list

Report tool for the technicians.

If a check list is add to the project, the following icon will be shown next to the text Check lists .

3. Mark if the checklist should be connected to a machine or not (a checklist -ID can also be selected)

Note! If the “Installation tree” is used and there is a relation between machines,  then the sorting of the checklist will be according to the Installation. If the “Installation” is not used then the sorting will be first on machine number, then on checklist code.
(The same sorting will be for the technician using EMS)

4. Select if the checklist should be displayed as tree or list.

Extra lines will show the different technicians added to the checklist. If the technician is marked red, no values are added to the checklist. If the technician is marked green, values are added to the checklist
If the technician name is green, you can right click and select other technicians from the menu. This to transform the checklist points to the other technician

Tree:

Note! If you mark somewhere in the tree structure, the structure will expand automatically (+/-)

When selecting a check list , a tree structure with all the added levels will be displayed. For each Group, the properties Name and Accessories are shown, and for each Check point, the properties Name and Value are shown. It is not possible to edit the levels in the tree structure directly. In order to edit, you select a checkpoint node/level in the tree structure, and a own window will be displayed to the right where you can enter values, comments or select statistic group. Also previous values can be displayed (historic data).

At the top you will see how many points are mandatory and how many have been checked. This will be displayed as a progress-bar (e.g. 50 %).

List:

Note! If you mark somewhere in the list, the structure will expand automatically (+/-)

The list contains normal Groups (= yellow lines) and/or Groups with accessories (= green lines). The Check points are grey lines. The advantage by using this structure is that you can enter values, comments or select statistic group directly behind each e.g. check point. The value field can contain 4000 signs.

E.g. If the list contain Groups with accessories (= green lines), a new list with different columns ( 1 for each serial number) will be displayed to the right.

If the machine has e.g. 2 accessories, the checkpoints under this group will be displayed 2 times.

Note! Your administrator can set the following setting: COMPANY_XXX \ PROJECT \ CHECK_LIST_AUTO_ADD_DEF_VALUES. This gives the user the previous values entered as default next time the checklist should be filled.

The column historic values will show earlier added information to the checkpoint. You can double click on the value to copy it to the existing checklist.

How to create documents from the checklists.

If you right click on one of the check lists a menu where you can create/preview a document is opened. If you create a document this is stored under the Events tab. Note! document templates must be added in order to use this function.

Note! Your administrator can set up so that the checklist PDF document automatically is saved under the Events tab. See Checklist.

How to add checklist based on the same type.

If checklist that are the same should be added to a project, a ID (text, serial no, location etc) on each check list must be added.

Should each technician only select from defined ID's, enter the ID's as machine properties.

E.g.:

The technician can also type his own ID, this ID will be added to the machine property list when the project is synchronized back from Evatic Mobile.

Note! All the historic values will be added to this extra level (= ID), so when the technician visit the customer again, the history only shows values added for e.g. "3501-first floor".

Your administrator decides if the ID should be used. (See Company XXX/PROJECT/ CHECK_LIST_ID_PROP)
