When using the LiveMine app many operators are required to complete a Prestart for the equipment they will be using during the shift. These checklists are contained in this section of the back end.
NOTE: Prestarts are an optional part of the LiveMine application. If your site is using an alternative way to manage prestart records and wish to not use LiveMine for it this will be arranged during your site implementation. For an existing operation that wants to skip the use of prestarts in the module, speak to your LiveMine support team for assistance, and /or follow the instructions below to edit your table entries to remove the Prestart checklists from being applied to equipment.
The Prestart checklist section is a multi-tiered arrangement of connected tables in the back end.
