UQSafe is the sytem used to manage HSW inspections and checklists.

Checklists can be used to conduct workplace inspections, track activites in a process, monitor compliance and create tasks for actions to be done. You can create as many checklists as you need.

    Before you start

    It is recommended you have a list of all your checklist questions before you start, so you can arrange them in the best order for good flow. 

    Remember to click save as you go so you don't lose work if your session times out. 

     

    Who does this process apply to?

    Checklist Designers: This user guide is for those staff who will be building inspection checklist templates within UQSafe, to support workplace inspection programs for their organisation unit.

      Checklist Designer Navigation

      IconDescription
      This returns you back to the Visual Designer menu. Be sure to save your checklist tempalte before clicking back. 
      Save your checklist template. You should save your checklist regularly to avoid losing your work.
      Clone your checklist template. This is very useful if you’re building several similar checklist templates and want to use this one as a base.
      Delete your checklist template. You can only delete checklist templates that have not been used to conduct an inspection.
      Share your checklist template with other checklist designers.
      You need to resync if you’ve made changes to a checklist template that has previously been published. 
      • Partial resync – just syncs changed fields and widgets
      • Full resync – updates every affected field, widget and security rule
      Publish changes to your checklist template, when it is ready for people to use to conduct an inspection.

      Preview your checklist tempalte without having to publish it. We suggest previewing it for both desktop and mobile.

      You can export your checklist template to a file. This file can be imported into a different environment, for example from UAT to production.

      Step 5: Apply conditional logic

      TermDefinition
      Conditional Logic

      A feature that lets you easily show or hide questions based on how someone responds to other questions.

      This feature is also referred to as conditional branching, where certain questions will branch from others based on the conditions and logic you set.

      Example: display additional questions, based on the response to a previous question

      3. Click the Action icon (blue lightning bolt) on the response that the conditional logic will apply to
      4. In the relevant Widget's Action Properties menu, ensure the @SHOW action is selected

      Step 6: Configure your checklist template

      There are 2 types of checklists:

      • Self-managed: the person completing the checklist / conducting the inspection adds actions
      • Managed: the 'assigned to' person adds actions

      <this is selected by ...>

      You can choose how your checklist looks, behaves and connects to other parts of RiskWare, such as tasks and the registers. The settings are over 3 tabs: properties, settings, and map.
