under Load My Vehicle if Equipment is assigned to the job.
Job Site Inspection
A Job Site inspection or JSA will show up on the Work Order screen

outside of your company, like a scissor lift on the job site.
Outside Equipment inspections will show up under 'Add Inspections'
on the W/O after the technician has clicked Arrived.
Mobile Pre-Trip Inspections
First, you will look at the time when you need to be at the shop, then you clock in on the mobile app choosing the shop from the drop-down list. The first thing is to do the pre-trip for work order.
Click on Pre-trip Inspections -> Enter Pre-trip -> Choose the branch from the drop-down list -> Choose the vehicle -> Do all the check marks for the inspection -> Put odometer reading -> Signature -> Submit.
*You can also see the previous inspections and download it.
How to Complete an inspection:
Technicians will see their required inspections
or already completed inspections on the Work Order screen.
Technicians also have the ability to 'Add' an Inspection.
'Open' inspection
Add a description to the Inspection if desired.
Once a question has been answered, a photo can be added,
a note for the photo, and edit options are available.
Once an inspection is signed by anyone (lead, addtl. tech, site contact)
it becomes read only, for everyone including those who still need to sign.
If there is a discrepancy on the inspection for another person who needs to sign it,
they can add their own notes and pictures to answered questions to resolve the discrepancy. (or 'Add' another inspection)
*When in Offline mode there will be an inspection for each instance it is signed.
(will not become read only for other users)
Signature section of the JSA and Outside Equipment allow for multiple signatures.
Technicians can collect multiple signatures either on 'My Device' or 'Text Link'.
Additional Technicians are listed if they are on the Work Order,
(If additional techs are using the CenPoint app they will see their inspections,
they need to sign and can complete the inspection on their own device.)
Click 'Add' to add a new Customer/Other signature.
'My Device' allows tech to collect a signature on their phone/tablet.
'Text Link' allows the tech to send a text to collect a signature.
The Field Ticket inspection section shows the inspections
that technician has signed, 'My Signed Inspections'.
'Others Inspections' are listed and are inspections
that may have been completed by other technicians on the Work Order.
Use the arrows to expand and collapse the Signed/Not Signed By section.
Only a lead technician can see who has not signed an inspection,
as they would be in charge of verifying all signatures have been collected.
Use the ellipsis to open or download the inspection.
Authorization to Proceed and JSA
Once you have clicked "Arrived", the pre Field Ticket section will become accessible including authorization to proceed, JSA, safety plan and field ticket. If your company requires them, they must be completed before the field ticket can be accessible
There are 2 sections for Authorization to Proceed: Costumer and Technician. Start with filling out JSA. If you want to add a note, either type those in or click the three dots at the top right
Since both documents are marked with a blue check mark, the customer will be signing for both documents with one signature.
Inspection Reports
Go to Reports->Job Reports-> Inspections
Use the filters to find an inspection.
Any signatures, photos, or notes that were added will print on the report.
