Post-ride (return) inspection checklist

A post-ride checklist is the "after" version of the pickup inspection: a list of things staff must check when a machine comes back, such as "Check for new damage." Staff tick each item during the dropoff, and the rental can't be finished until all of them are ticked.

Where to find it

• For one machine: Maintenance → open the machine's card → Inspection checklist.
• For many machines at once: Maintenance → open a template (or Create a template).

How it works

Setting it up on one machine

1. Open the machine's card on the Maintenance page and click Inspection checklist. 2. The window has two lists:

• Before each rental — appears once you turn on Inspection required before each rental ("Staff must check off these items before this machine goes out").
• After each rental (post-ride) — always available. Add the things staff should check when the machine comes back. Each list holds up to 50 items.

3. Click Save checklist.

Setting it up from a template

A maintenance template has a Pre-ride inspection items card (checked at pickup) and a Post-ride inspection items card (checked at dropoff when the machine comes back). Both are copied onto each fleet item when you apply the template. The Applied and Out of date labels on the apply screen count the post-ride list too, so a template whose post-ride items changed shows Out of date until you apply it again.

What staff see at dropoff

1. When you check a rental back in, the dropoff window has a Checklist step. 2. Each machine with post-ride items gets a block titled "Post-ride inspection: <machine name>" with a checkbox per item. Check all ticks everything. 3. Finish rental stays disabled until every return checklist item is ticked. Hover over it, or read the "Still needed" line, to see how many remain (for example "Check off every return checklist item (2/3)").

Example

A jet ski shop adds "Check for new damage," "Rinse and flush the engine," and "Photograph the hull" to every jet ski. When a customer returns a jet ski, staff must tick all three before Finish rental turns on.

Good to know

• The "Inspection required before each rental" toggle on the item editor only controls the pickup list. The post-ride list works whether or not that toggle is on.
• The list of pickup inspection items is shown read-only on the item editor; you change it from the Maintenance page — see Requiring an inspection before a rental goes out.
• Damage found during a return can be logged against the specific unit — see Damage reports and checkout photos on a unit.
