Checklist Reports

 

The Checklist Reports allow users to review vehicle check history in Vehicle Logs. The checklist items are marked as critical until they are addressed. The checklist reports can be saved in Excel or PDF format.

Duplicate memo entries are consolidated to avoid repetitious memo entries. The number of duplicate memo entries is denoted in the Issue Count column associated with the entered memo. For example, if a memo is entered stating a Low temperature is detected, the description would not be repeated in the table, but added to the Issue Count as a second occurrence of the issue as shown in the second to last row on the Vehicle Log sample above.

 

A specific vehicle can be selected from within the Diagnostics window by clicking in the row for the specific vehicle to open the Vehicle Log window to access the Checklist Reports button.
