Inspections

Overview

Gearbox inspections are designed for time-based activities that involve work orders (job cards) and labor. These inspections can be scheduled separately from regular service intervals, allowing for annual roadworthy checks and other periodic inspections. An asset may have multiple inspection types applied. Each inspection type has its own due dates, operating independently without cascading features like the Service Due feature. Inspection due dates are included in the vehicle's traffic light status.
