Checklists

Checklists runs truck, SCBA, and PPE checks that the whole crew works on together. Build a check once, schedule it, and let crews log items in batches from their phones. Missed checks are flagged, and failed items become alerts that move through repair until the unit is back in service.

Common questions

Answers before you get stuck

Does Checklists require Assets?

No. Checklists with manual questions work on their own. With Assets on, checks can target and update equipment records.

Can I run a check without signal?

Answers are queued on the device and sent when the connection returns. Photos need a connection. Keep the page open until everything is sent.

Why can’t I log an item?

Another member may have claimed the check, or a failed item still needs its required note.
