When a work order has an attached Checklist the technician will be informed when they check in and/or check out. The notice will give the technician the option of viewing the checklist before they begin the work, or at the point of check out. When a client has created segment questions for the check-in process, they must be answered before the clock starts. If you cancel the checklist until later, the work order remains in open status. You can also respond to checklist from a work order in Provider Automation. 

Checklists appear when checking in and/or checking out. For users with access to Travel Time or Admin Time functionality, Checklists do not appear when logging travel or admin time. it only appears when you are ready to check into the work order to perform the repair.

Viewing Checklist with Segments

You may come across Checklists with Segments on a work order. Certain clients may have a slightly different checklists configuration. This includes breaking up the questions into a Check-in and/or Check-out segments. These questions are delivered during the check-in, check-out, or both phases of the work order. Checklists with Segments have the same purpose just like as an ordinary checklist. When necessary, you can jump to specific questions on the checklist. Technicians can access a full list of checklist questions, when checked in by clicking the More button.

Some questions will be persistent where the answer could be the same each time and therefore, no need to change the original response or you can update the answer as needed. This allows for multiple technicians to update a single question and also allows for technicians to update their answer(s) on a subsequent check-in and/or check-out segment.
