Inspections and prestart checks

Loggy’s Inspections let you run a quick check before you drive or operate a vehicle. Open the vehicle and tap Inspect (or tap Add (+) › Inspection / Prestart), pick a template, mark each item P, F or N, then sign and tap Submit Inspection. The result is saved to the vehicle’s history and your inspections list.
