Getting Started
When you first login you’ll be on the Company Detail page, you’ll need to fill in those details before you go any further as those values will be used in your template. You can edit and update those at any time.
Once you’ve updated those values you’ll be able to click through the navigation pane on the left hand side and create your first project.
Projects
When entering your first project you won’t have any customer or site information so you’ll need to create them by clicking on the ‘+’ button to the right of the customer dropdown box.
You’ll need to do the same for the site information. Note: you can upload customer and site information in the Setup area.
Once you’ve entered those details select your manual so that you can start adding job specific information in the Works Type area.
Now you can select a work type and start entering your scope of works, attachments and stock.
Setup
Navigate to the setup page and select the table you would like to import data into. when you select a type from the Import Data dropdown the system will display the values you’ll need to import.
Browse for you file and then map your values to the ones stored in Dokkit.
Contractor Services
In the setup page choose the Contractor Services tab and enter new types. If you are importing contractors any types not found will be automatically added. Typical types are; roofing, flooring, electrical, security etc.
Templates
Each of the templates have a number of codes that the system uses to create your Operation & Maintenance document. It is important that these codes are only edited by someone with the proper understanding of the system.
Short for time? Send us your current template and we’ll get it ready for the system to use for free!
The title cover sheet contains some dynamic information such as the Client Name, Site Address and the Project Collection Date and some static information such as your logo, web address and registration number. As long as this document contains the necessary curly brackets codes the system will be able to process the information.
Some pre-designed cover sheets are available for download below or contact us if you need help designing something else. Be careful not to update or delete the entries in the table of contents, these are handled dynamically by the system.
Things to change:
Logo -delete the logo placement and insert your own. If you need help designing your header page to fit your companies brand just get in touch.
The Main Template holds the bulk of the text and the majority of which can be edited. The curly brackets shouldn’t be edited however they can be deleted or added.
Examples:
Scenario 1
You have downloaded the Fire Detection Main template and need to remove the ROUTINE TESTING paragraph within the PLANNED MAINTENANCE section
{INDEX}.7 PLANNED MAINTENANCE
{INDEX}.7.2 ROUTINE TESTING
{INDEX}.7.3 PREVENTION OF FALSE ALARMS OF FIRE DURING ROUTING TESTING
Select the necessary paragraph including the curly brackets and delete it. You will now need to update the future indexing so:
{INDEX}.7.3 PREVENTION OF FALSE ALARMS OF FIRE DURING ROUTINE TESTING
Should be updated to
{INDEX}.7.2 PREVENTION OF FALSE ALARMS OF FIRE DURING ROUTINE TESTING
Including any subsequent {INDEX}.7.x elements.
If you alter the high level headings e.g. 1.7, 4.2 etc. you will need to update the index page in the Title Cover Sheet. Lower level headings that are changed do not affect the index.
Scenario 2
You would like to add a new section heading at the end of the document to reflect a new government regulation. You download the Fire Detection Main template again and want to add a section after the RESIDUAL HAZARDS section.
{INDEX}.11 RESIDUAL HAZARDS
You can add a section/s directly after:
{INDEX}.12 FIRE & ASBESTOS
You can also add a nested entry:
{INDEX}.12.1 CONTROL OF SUBSTANCES HAZARDOUS TO HEALTH (COSHH)
If you alter the high level headings e.g. 1.7, 4.2 etc. you will need to update the index page in the Title Cover Sheet. Lower level headings that are changed do not affect the index.
Should you encounter trouble with an updated template you can always revert to the original. Please contact us for details
The index is found on the header page and although displays all of our available templates it will only show the sections that relate to your project.
If you have removed sections in your main document you’ll need to edit the header file index values.
For example if you removed the Emergency Procedures section in the main electrical file your original index page would look like this:
You would remove the {Index}.4 Emergency Procedures line and then update the numbering on the remaining lines that follow.
This page is used to display the headings of your main attachments and stock part attachment types. Please update with your logo taking care not to delete the codes in curly brackets.
The Manufacturers Schedule is where the system shows all of the products used on a particular job.
As with the other templates this file can be downloaded and edited. This is only a one page document as it only holds the table for the stock parts. The style of the table can be amended but it is imperative that the coded elements remain as they are.
