We have faced a problem trying to use different control categories and inspection intervals at different sites. We have our company regime set to Standard and have set LOLER regime for certain locations in Europe. As a LEEA member we would like to use Report of Thorough Examination in all sites in Europe. First problem we face is that with LOLER loose gear interval set to 6 months (standard for UK), it will overwrite any existing inspection period (including sites in mainland Europe that have a 12 month inspection requirement). If we amend the loose gear period to 12 months it will not overwrite the existing period at these sites but then does overwrite the 6 month period at UK sites. There is also a problem with the document - if the LOLER period is set to 12 months for loose gear, the correct “next due” date is shown on the report but the report text still says the examination was conducted within a period of 6 months. How can we use EU & LEEA complient “LOLER style” report forms at UK and non-UK locations without having to set a 6 months inspection period at all locations?
Hi @richard.stannard, currently there’s no functionality in Onix Work that can directly solve your need. As you point out, the settings of control category and control regime apply to all locations and areas.
We’ll need a new functionality to solve this, so I’m moving your question to Product ideas and let our Product Group join the discussion.
In my humble opinion, the new functionality might be some ways to customize settings on Location/Area level, or some changes in how the default interval is displayed on forms.
Thanks so much for sharing your idea! To move forward, we need more votes and input from other users. So for now, your idea is at the “In Discussion” stage.
