Walkaround Checks: How do I set up an alert to notify me of defects?

This alert will notify selected recipients when any defects have been reported during a walkaround check.

As an example, the following shows how to set up an alert for when any defects are found during HGV walkaround checks.

Go to Services Menu >  Walkaround > Alerts  >

On the Alerts page click the +New Alert button.

Type in a name for the new alert.

Select ‘Walkaround’ from the drop-down list of Alert Types.

Next, click on the drop-down box to select which checklist the alert is for. In our example, this is ‘HGV’.

Then select ‘All Defects’ from the defects drop-down list.

Finally, select a recipient of the alert from the drop-down list of users.

If required, click on more names to add further recipients; to remove them if added in error, click on the x next to their name.

Click on Create Alert.

When the alert has been successfully created, the system will show a green confirmation message in the bottom left corner of the screen.

The message will fade after a few seconds, or click the x to close it immediately.

When the alert has been triggered, an email will be sent to the selected recipients.
