Checked against Pop Street Dispatch 0.1.0

The Reminders screen lists the reminders the nightly job has written. Each level is written once. You can run the check on demand and send any reminder by WhatsApp.

Before you start #

  • Open Fleet, then Reminders. The screen opens for the owner, manager, dispatcher and advisor roles.
  • The Run the reminder check now button shows for the owner and manager roles when your licence allows changes.

Steps #

  1. Read the table, newest first: When, About, What, Level and Channel. Levels read Coming due, Overdue, Expiring soon, Expired or Needs a new reading. Overdue and Expired show in red.
  2. Select an asset name in About to open the asset. Other reminders name the service schedule or document by number.
  3. Select Send on WhatsApp on a row. WhatsApp opens in a new tab with the message ready. You choose the chat and send it yourself.
  4. Select Run the reminder check now. The screen says how many new reminders were written and lists each with its own Send on WhatsApp link.
  5. To receive an email for each new reminder, open the Fleet screen. The owner and manager see Fleet reminder email there. Type an address in Send each new reminder to and select Save. Leave it empty to turn reminder emails off.
Technical details
  • The list reads GET /fleet/alerts. The check posts to /fleet/alerts/run. The email setting uses GET and PATCH /settings/fleet.
  • A second run straight after the first finds nothing new.

If something goes wrong #

  • "No reminders yet." Add maintenance schedules or documents so the job has something to watch.
  • "{n} new reminder(s) written." with zero means nothing new was due.
  • "Your role may not do this." means your role cannot run the check.
