Open the Work Order and Permit

A permit requiring details is highlighted in red.

Permit edit button

The Edit button on the Permit screen.

Record actual load measurements

Enter the actual measurements into the Actual fields. This may include:

  • Actual Width
  • Actual Height
  • Actual Length
  • Actual Ground Clearance
  • Any other actual measurements required by the form

Measure width

Width uses a three-step approach:

  1. Measure the trailer width.
  2. Measure the left-hand side overhang.
  3. Measure the right-hand side overhang.

Enter these measurements into the relevant fields. The system will calculate the full width.

Most measurement fields have tolerances set as maximum and minimum values. An alert will show if, for example, the actual width exceeds the permit width.

Actual width details

Trailer width and overhang fields used to calculate full width.

Measured ground width requirements

Where a measured ground width requirement applies, such as 1.2 m at 6.5 m, the system will calculate the required measuring point based on the trailer width.

Using the trailer width measurement, AppSheet will calculate how far out each side needs to be measured for the height.

Enter the relevant actual measurements into the Actual fields.

Save actual measurements

Once the actual measurements have been entered:

  1. Select Next.
  2. Select Save.

The actual permit measurements are now saved.
