The Inspection Setup screen enables you to create inspection forms in iOn that you publish for your drivers to fill out on mobile devices in their vehicles. A form is made up of items that fit into groups, which together create a template:


  • Template: The overall structure of the inspection, such as Pre-Trip Vehicle Inspection, which will also be the name of the inspection form on the driver's smart device.
     
  • Groups: Categories of inspection items, such as Exterior, Under the Hood, and Tires.
     
  • Items: Specific elements to be checked that may need service or repair, such as Tires Properly Inflated, Hoses Appear Okay, and Fire Extinguisher in Cab.


Before you create an inspection template in iOn, you should have the inspection form already planned out — or if you are re-creating a paper form, have it handy. Make sure that you know each individual item that needs to be inspected and how those items will be grouped. Then go to Creating an Inspection Template for guidance.


On the driver's mobile device, an inspection form will appear as a list of items to check.
