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

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.
