DQ Maintenance Checklist
The Maintenance Checklist is meant to track items that renew and expire over a range of time. The system administrator is responsible for setting this up. It should be mentioned that the system comes with standard checklist items already indicated in setup These include items like the Annual Review, Record of Violations, and Medical Exam Certificate. You can also update multiple drivers at one time.
The Maintenance Checklist is found by going to the Driver Qualification tab while viewing the employee.
Scroll down to the section titled Maintenance Checklist.
If there are items in the Prequalification Checklist that also fall under the renewable or maintenance items, the dates may already be filled in for the user in the maintenance checklist. If there are no Prequalification Checklist items that occur in the Maintenance Checklist, then the completed dates and due dates will be blank.
There are two methods in which the dates for the checklist items can be added:
- Edit the entire list at once, which will not allow for specific notes to be entered.
- Edit an item individually, which will allow for specific notes to be entered.
Edit All
To edit the entire list at once, click Edit full List...
Enter in the necessary information for the for the checklist items:
- N/A - This check box means not applicable. The system will ignore an item with this checkbox filled. There may be times when this box is greyed out. This means that the system administrator has set these items as required and cannot be marked as not applicable.
- Last Completed Date - (format as mm/dd/yyyy or mm-dd-yyyy) This field is for the last processed date.
- Date Due - (format as mm/dd/yyyy or mm-dd-yyyy) This field is for the next time the item is due. Most system administrators set this up to auto-fill this date based on how frequently this item needs to be renewed (auto-fill dates can be overwritten). If it doesn't auto-fill, enter the date the item is next due.
Note: The DQ Maintenance Checklist impacts employee qualification and will flag/cause a driver to be "Not Qualified" if there is not a Due Date in the future, or if there is a future date in the Last Completed field.
