DVIR Encompass Setup - 2. DVIR Categories

This DVIR support article refers to instructions for our Classic version of Encompass. For the New UI version of this article, visit: Encompass DVIR Setup-Categories Settings 

The purpose of DVIR categories is to allow a vehicle inspection to be split up into sections.  This can help with the efficiency of completing an inspection, standardizes inspections, and helps break-down what may be perceived as a large task, into smaller ones.

 

The individual inspection items can be categorized if desired. Categories are not required. By default, all vehicle inspection items, including new ones added, will fall under the General category if no other categories are created. To setup these categories, click on Setup in the drop-down menu in the upper right hand corner from the Vehicle Management tab.

Scroll down to the Maintain Unit Maintenance Info box in the right column. Click on Maintain DVIR Category.

By default, this category list will be blank with the exception of General. This is the default category and cannot be removed. New categories can be added by clicking Add DVIR Category Item at the top.

After each category is saved, it will take the user back to the category list page, with a successful message displayed at the top.  The new inspection category will then show at the bottom of the list.

The order in which this list is displayed in the mobile application can also be determined. This list can be reorganized by clicking Reorder DVIR Category Items at the top of the list. Highlight the appropriate category and click the arrows to the right of the box to move the categories.  Click Save once the categories are in the appropriate order.

Notes and Tips

  • There is no limit to the number of categories that can be created.  If there are different types of units that require different categories, they can all be created here.
  • This section is simply creating the categories, not putting the inspection items into the categories.
