DVIR Setup - 2. DVIR Categories

This article explains how to create and manage DVIR (Driver Vehicle Inspection Report) Categories in Encompass to organize Vehicle Inspections into sections. Categories help standardize Inspections, make them more efficient, and break large tasks into manageable parts. Users navigate to Vehicle Management > Setup > Maintain Unit Maintenance Info > Maintain DVIR Category to view, add, or reorder Categories. A default General Category exists and cannot be removed, but new Categories can be created, named, saved, and reordered to appear in the Driver’s mobile application. While Categories are created here, individual Inspection Items are assigned separately.

 

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.

 

As mentioned, there is a default category called General which cannot be removed. New categories can be added by clicking Add DVIR Category Item at the top.

 

Type in the name that the category should be called, and click Save. Be sure that Show in List? is checked as this will determine if it is an available category or not.

 

 

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 will also be displayed to the driver within the mobile applications.  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.
