What is a checklist?


Column
width65%

Checklists are sets of questions provided by your client and displayed to you in SC Provider. These questions can be mandatory or optional and may vary based on the work order trade, category, and location.

When should I complete a checklist?


Column
width65%

When a work order has a Checklist attached, you will be notified about the requirement to complete the checklist upon check-in in SC Provider. Only tracking the Repair time in SC Provider triggers the checklist flow. The notice will give you the option of viewing/completing the checklist before you begin the work or at the point of check-out.

When multiple check-in activities are required to get the work done, should I complete the checklist every time?


Column
width65%

Every check-in activity (aka visit) triggers the checklist flow — on work orders with configured checklists. However, among the checklist questions, there may be those that should be answered only once — regardless of the number of check-ins. Thus, you will not be forced to re-answer that question on every visit, but you will always be able to update the response if required.

What are the Check-in Segment and the Check-out Segment?


Column
width65%

Some of the questions from the checklist should be answered before you get down to work, for example, “Are you wearing the protective gear?”; while others are designed to collect information after the work has been completed, for example, “Did you clean the area after repairing the asset?”

Upon check-in, pay attention to the Check-in Segment section as it contains questions your client wants you to answer before you start working on the service request.

Upon check-out, provide answers to all the questions under the Check-out Segment section.

Why completing a checklist is important?


Column

You are expected to answer checklist questions to help the client collect more accurate information about your on-site visit and the work order completion. You will not be able to check out of a work order if you leave the required checklist questions without answers.
