Work with assets that are due an inspection on an opportunity

OnRent Events can warn you when working with an asset that’s due a test on a job, or stop you altogether. You can jump into a test here, too.

Updated over a week ago

You can use OnRent Events to record test and inspection results for your assets – great for things like PAT, Test and Tag, and LOLER. 

Get started

When you allocate, prep, or book out an asset that should be inspected on an opportunity, OnRent Events will check to make sure that the asset:

  • has passed any inspections.

  • is not due for an inspection during or before the end of the opportunity.

If the asset hasn’t passed or its inspection expires before the end date of the opportunity, the system will either prevent you from taking that action or warn you.

From the warning, you may hop into a test and record the result directly from the opportunity page. We’ve designed it for companies that have electronic testers in the warehouse, so it’s easy to quickly test something as you’re prepping.

Mandatory inspections

Where an asset is overdue for an inspection that’s mandatory, the system will prevent you from allocating, prepping, or booking out that asset.

Use the Inspect now button to launch the “Inspection Result” popup and test the asset straight from the opportunity. Once inspected, it will be allocated, prepped 

The fields here mirror those that you’d find when completing a test in Resources > Testing & Inspections. Check out: See upcoming asset tests and start testing

Non-mandatory inspections

Where an asset is overdue for an inspection that isn’t mandatory, the system will allocate, prep, or book out the asset, but warn you to let you know.

As with mandatory inspections, you may use the Inspect now button to test the asset there and then. 

Common questions

Where do I choose whether my inspection is mandatory or not?

You can set this when you create your inspections. Head to System Setup > Inspections to check which of your inspections are mandatory. You may edit your inspections here, too.

What happens when I auto-allocate?

With auto-allocate, the system can check to see which assets are available and allocate them to the opportunity for you – all you need to do is go find those assets and start prepping.

Where an asset is due a mandatory inspection before the end of the opportunity, we won’t allocate it as part of auto-allocation.

How does it work for serialized containers?

If a container component is due for a mandatory inspection, then it cannot be booked out on an opportunity until it has passed.
