Transcript

Hi everyone. Dylan here from the Fergus team In this video, I'm gonna be showing you how checklists work checklist templates can be.

For anything you need your team to complete on the job like pres site checks or a specific order of operations to get started, we will first take a look at creating a checklist template head to your settings of your Fergus account and then find checklists in the settings list. Here, you can see any checklist you have created and also archive any that you're no longer needing.

To create a checklist, select new template on the top right, and you'll be taken to a section where you can start creating the checklist. First thing you can do is give your checklist a name. This will be what the user sees when looking in the checklist. Option on the mobile app. whenever you create a new checklist, Fergus will have three check boxes to get you started.

You can also set a reminder while setting the due date so that the right staff member gets the notification that's due. If a checklist or an item is not done within a due time, that checklist or item will become overdue. Once started, the checklist will have a status and you'll be able to see how many steps have been completed. and that's all you need to do. Setting up an assigning checklist is simple. With Fergus,
