Write a checklist for the engineer

One item per line. Mark must-do items with *, and add [test], [text], [number] or [firmware] at the end for answers other than a tick.

Where: Administration › Settings › Job types › Checklist for the engineerFor Owners, admins

Step by step

  1. Press Edit on the job type (or + New job type) and go to Checklist for the engineer.
  2. Type one item per line, e.g. Unpacked and positioned.
  3. Start a line with * if it must be done before the job can be completed, e.g. * Test print OK.
  4. End a line with an answer type if a tick is not enough: [test] for Pass / Fail / Not tested, [text] for a written answer, [number] for a number, [firmware] to save the answer as the machine's firmware version.
  5. Press Save (or Add job type).

Example

* Unpacked and positioned

IP address [text]

Scan to email working [test]

Firmware after [firmware]

* Test print OK

Limits

At most 40 items: "A checklist can have at most 40 items."

Each item up to 200 characters: "Checklist item is too long…"

Empty lines are ignored.

On the engineer's phone

The engineer sees the checklist on the job. Items with * must be answered before the job can be completed. A [firmware] answer updates the machine's firmware version on its record.

Tips

  • Rewording an item counts as a new item, so answers already given to the old wording are not carried over.
