If you see Vehicle Ended – the vehicle has been ended you need to seek advice – you will not be able to go any further
If you see VOR – Do not Use – the vehicle is not in use you need to seek advice – you will not be able to go any further – YOU SHOULD NOT BE MOVING THE VEHICLE – (NOTE; Engineers and Managers can do a check when its VOR as it maybe VOR for a PMI etc.)
Top Tip
See the light bulb top right, touch it and it’s a light! no more checks in the dark.
The Manual Button (which is optional and managed on the user profile) is to undertake checks that do not have an asset ID – You should be using “Perform Check” once you have entered the reg/asset ID in the top section
Logged In
Once logged in your template will be available to start your check. Typically you will see (not exhaustive)
Initial Daily First Use check – detailed first use check template
In Service defect – quick in service defect report – handy for breakdown reporting
Accident report – this is an electronic bump card with pinging back a bump report in seconds
Any other templates that the client has requested to be added i.e. Fuel Record
TIP: Top left shows the Asset ID that your checking in this case “CSVAN”
Top right Lightbulb hijacks the camera flash to use as a torch whilst checking the asset if required
NOTE: IF YOU DO NOT SEE ANY TEMPLATES CHECK YOU HAVE SIGNAL (WIFI/4G) IF OK CHECK WITH SUPERVISOR AS YOU HAVE BEEN UNASSIGNED TEMPLATES EITHER TO YOUR PROFILE OR THE VEHICLE
Before you start your Check you may get a Red or a Yellow triangle with possible photos and further notes
A Red Triangle means a defect has been reported previously but not been dealt with by a Supervisor/Manager etc. you will see the details of the active defect and a photo if one has been taken. If it is safety critical you must STOP and seek advise – if it is obvious it is NOT safety critical and your policy is to carry on with the check then do so YOU DO NOT NEED TO REPEAT the defect and when you get to the relevant question the information that you saw at the beginning will be repeated so you have assurance that the defect is already active and again the is NO NEED TO REPEAT THE DEFECT – UNLESS THE ISSUE HAS GOT WORSE THEN YOU MUST REPEAT IT AND ADD THE WORDS “got worse than originally reported”
Yellow Triangle (Serviceable)
A Yellow Triangle means a defect has been reported previously and has been temporarily dealt with by a Supervisor/Manager etc. you will see the details of the active defect as a Serviceable and a photo if one has been taken, along with notes on what action has been taken and guidance as to what you need to do if applicable. YOU DO NOT NEED TO REPEAT the defect and when you get to the relevant question the information that you saw at the beginning will be repeated so you have assurance that the defect is already active and being dealt with and again the is NO NEED TO REPEAT THE DEFECT – UNLESS THE ISSUE HAS GOT WORSE THEN YOU MUST REPEAT IT AND ADD THE WORDS “got worse than originally reported”
Take Photo of Asset ID
We use ANPR to read number plates but also this allows the manager to verify the ID is correct
You can hen move on the answer all the questions (some maybe enforced so you may not be able to move on until you answer them – such as Mileage)
NOTE: the questions may not be the same as this guide depending on the clients requests but the formats and principles of use will be the same
SPECIAL NOTE FOR DRIVING LICENCE CHECKS: if your using the app to complete your driver licence check mandate please take a nice clear photo of your driver licence front and back and same with your CPC (DQC) Card as we read the data from the card to access the DVLA information
TIP: Top left shows the Asset ID that your checking in this case “CSVAN”
Top right Lightbulb hijacks the camera flash to use as a torch whilst checking the asset if required
TIP: Middle top you see a counter (if applicable) this counts the seconds you spend on this page it may actually be enforced so you cannot move on until you reached the (enforced) seconds particularly if you need to be more detailed in certain areas.
You will also see next to the middle counter a further counter (if applicable) – this is the overall timing of the check so you can see your progress – this also maybe fixed and you may not complete the check until the time has been reached
Straight forward touch pass or fail as you walk around the vehicle
As you see a defect touch the fail button and type in details of the defect and take a photo or photos – this is most helpful for the engineer to determine if roadworthy or not and to assist in the repair/rectification
Then carry on with the check each page will be a similar layout working your way through the template
You can pause a check if you wish by touching the “II” at the top of the app this will pause the check and you can return to it later (you can actually do another check and come back to your original check as well very useful for engineers who are on a PMI but get called away)
Tip if you do not press anything and try and move on – you will not be able to
