Add Links to Checks

Overview

You can add links to checks to provide users with additional information while they complete a check.

For example, you may want to link to equipment instruction manuals, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and safety guidance.

When a user opens the check in the Checkit App, they can select the link to open the associated content.

Checkit also supports links to web pages, images and videos, although these options are only suitable for customers who use the Checkit App on their own mobile devices.

Add Links to Documents

You can add links to documents that have been uploaded to Checkit, allowing users to quickly access supporting information while completing a check.

1. Log in to the Control Centre.

2. Go to App Management > Checklists.

3. Select the checklist/check you want to add a link to.

4. In the Additional Check Details field, enter a file tag using the following format:

[file: filename.pdf]

You can optionally specify custom hyperlink text:

[file: filename.pdf, name: "Display text"]

Example

Please read the [file: manual_handling_guide.pdf, name: "Manual Handling Guide"] before completing this check.

The user will see:

Please read the Manual Handling Guide before completing this check.

5. Click Save.

Add Other Links

Add a Link to a Web Page

To add a link to a web page, enter the full URL in the Additional Check Details field.

For example:

https://www.example.com

The URL will be displayed as a hyperlink in the Checkit App.

Add a Link to an Image or Video

Images and videos can also be linked using a file tag:

To make an image or video available:

1. Download or copy the required file to each mobile device that will use it.

2. Open a file explorer app on the device.

3. Copy the file to the following directory:

Internal Storage/Checkit
