Customising Vehicle Checklists

Learn how to manage and edit vehicle checklists in RAM Assist, including creating custom lists for different vehicle types.

Updated this week

Once your drivers and vehicles are set up, you can customise the vehicle check process to match your specific requirements. Create tailored checklists that cover exactly what your drivers need to inspect.

Finding Vehicle Check Settings

Navigate to Vehicle Checks in the main menu to access all customisation options.

Reviewing Default Checklists

Start by exploring Manage Checklists. RAM Assist includes pre-built checklists for different vehicle types:

  • Van checklists

  • Bus checklists

  • HGV checklists

  • Lift truck checklists

Review these existing checklists to see if they cover all the questions you need for your fleet. They're designed to meet common inspection requirements for each vehicle class.

Creating Custom Checklists

If the default options don't quite fit your needs, you can create completely custom checklists:

Getting Started

  1. Go to Create New Checklist

  2. Give your checklist a clear, descriptive name

Building Your Checklist

As you add fields to your checklist, you'll see a preview of exactly how it will appear to drivers on their mobile devices. This phone preview updates in real-time, so you can see how your checklist will look and function before drivers use it.

Add all the items you want drivers to check during their walk-around inspections. Think about safety items, legal requirements, and any company-specific checks that are important for your operations.

Saving Your Work

Once you're happy with your custom checklist, save it as a preset for future use.

Assigning Checklists to Vehicles

After creating or choosing your checklists, you need to assign them to your vehicles:

  1. Go to Assign Checklists

  2. Choose from either:

    • Default checklists (shown at the top)

    • Custom checklists (shown at the bottom)

Each vehicle can have its own specific checklist, so you can match the inspection requirements to the vehicle type and use.

The customisation options ensure that your vehicle checks cover exactly what matters to your business, whether you use our comprehensive defaults or create something entirely tailored to your fleet's needs.
