The Tyre Scanner is used in conjunction with the Checklist, which is where the Tyre Scan report is obtained. To achieve this, you should create a checklist template to be used with the tyre scanner report. Here’s how to do it:

1. In the top right corner, choose the icon, enter Checklist Templates, and select the related link.

2. Select the MOT checklist template from the list, and then click on Linked Item Groups in the menu bar.

   

3. Select the one related to the Tyres on the Checklist Template Item Groups page, and then click on the number in the column Item Group Lines. Click on Edit List, to enable editing on this page.

4. If the Data Type, Vehicle Axle, Vehicle Side, and Wheel Position columns are not visible in the Checklist Items page, add them through personalisation and move them closer together.

   

5. Customize the Checklist Items lines with tyres for the vehicle by filling in the following fields:

   Checklist Item Description	Data Type	Vehicle Axle	Vehicle Side	Wheel Position
   Nearside front tyre & wheel	Tyres	1	N/S	Inner
   Offside front tyre & wheel	Tyres	1	O/S	Inner
   Nearside rear tyre & wheel	Tyres	2	N/S	Inner
   Offside rear tyre & wheel	Tyres	2	O/S	Inner
   Wheel alignment	Alignment	blank	blank	blank

   

6. Then, in the Value Category column, select Satisfactory, Advisory, and Urgent under each tyre, which should match the description on each line. When finished, close the pages.

   

7. This Checklist Template setup allows the system to automatically fill in the fields from the Tyre Scan.
