Configure check clearing

Check clearing is enabled by default for 24x7 and Daily Safety Checks (DSC). You can configure check clearing policies and enable a notes policy that will prompt technicians to add a note explaining why they are clearing the check. Two types of notes can be added to a cleared check.

  • Technical (private) note: A note only available for team members that could outline investigative steps, the cause of a problem, and solutions. Technical notes are viewed on the All Devices view or in the Notes Report.
  • Client-facing note: A note for the Client that they can view on their All Devices view or in the Daily, Weekly or Monthly Client-facing Notes Reports .
