Introduction
This video explains how to use the gear list tool for "bulk inspections," a feature
designed to help you create inspection records more rapidly and efficiently.
The gear list tool is located on the tools menu. Gear lists are generally used in one
of two ways:
- Lists where all items are the same: This facilitates bulk
inspections or helps because the items are stored together. An example is a
group of helmets stored together that will be inspected together.
- Lists where the items are all different but serve a common
purpose: Examples include a pre-built bag of rescue equipment, a
paramedic's first response bag, or a crag bag with climbing equipment.
The inspection tool works the same regardless of the type of list. The goal of the
bulk inspection tool is to allow you to focus on creating a high-quality failure
record while the system automatically generates the success records.
Inspection Options
When inspecting a list, you have two options:
- Inspect One at a Time
- This guides you to check each piece of equipment to confirm you still have it,
and whether it passes inspection,
recording those inspections one by one. This is recommended if you are unsure of
the list's current status or contents or expect many failures/notes.
- Bulk Inspect
- This is useful when you are dealing with many of the same types of equipment,
are competent to check it yourself, and expect most items to pass. For example,
if you know what you are checking, have already completed the inspection, and
have pulled out any failed items, this is the option to choose.
To perform a bulk inspection, you hit the "eye" icon on the list level and then
select "Bulk
Inspect". The focus is on first recording the inspection failures.
Bulk Inspection Process
- After selecting "Bulk Inspect," you hit "Record Inspection
Failures".
- You can find failed items by scrolling or by searching using their serial
number.
- For a failed item, you click the "eye" icon on the gear to record the failure.
This involves
choosing a failure status, such as "missing". The user's name and inspection
dates are automatically defaulted.
- Once the failed record is saved, the item is hidden from the list of items still
to inspect.
- After recording all failures, for the remaining items (which are assumed to
pass), you click "Pass All".
- The system defaults to returning the items to their last status (generally
"good" or "monitor") and pre-ticks all the remaining equipment.
- Saving this final inspection record efficiently passes all remaining items.
