Creating Checklist Reports

Using Checklist reports in Aliquot

Checklists are meant to be a short form report with 4 columns and 1 inline note section for each row. Much like the Service Report they have a grid with components and tests. Instead of the components & test belonging to an Individual system, they are global.

Key Advantage of Checklist Reports: They’re fast, standardized, and repeatable, making them perfect for recurring tasks where the main goal is to confirm conditions and spot issues early.

Checklist Examples:

🔹 Preventive Maintenance Rounds

  • Quick log of system checks (e.g., pumps, controllers, tanks).

  • Record if equipment is running, any alarms, and basic operating parameters.

  • Check boxes for “OK / Needs Attention.”

🔹 Compliance or Safety Inspections

  • Quick record of eyewash station checks, spill kit status, or PPE availability.

  • Confirm signage, MSDS access, or chemical labeling compliance.

🔹 Equipment Spot Checks

  • Snap inspection of filters, softeners, boilers, or cooling towers.

  • Capture a few key values (pressure, hardness, temperature).

  • Note whether corrective action is needed.
