View, update, or close Vehicle & Station alerts
Manage alerts associated with your vehicles and stations.
Summary
Alerts help users track issues or discrepancies found during inspections. As action is taken to resolve these alerts, they can be updated, commented on, and eventually closed. Vehicle and station alerts display prominently on the home screen and allow users to manage them based on permission levels. This guide walks through how to manage, update, close, and search alerts effectively, including how to navigate open alerts across all stations and access archived records.
Instructions
You can manage vehicle and station alerts directly from the home screen, through the alerts panel, or via the vehicle and station alerts archive. Alerts can be updated with comments, priority changes, cost entries, or new attachments. When an alert is resolved, it can be closed and archived. Open and archived alerts can also be searched and exported for record keeping.
