Configure LOLER Expiry Widget

Component

chkm8-loler-expiry-widget is the CHKM8 custom LOLER expiry widget. Confirm the fields and source records used by your installed build before relying on it operationally.

Setup and test

  1. Confirm the component is active and visible to the responsible role.
  2. Check that lifting equipment records include the correct asset identifier and examination/expiry date.
  3. Open the dashboard containing the widget.
  4. Compare a known record against the widget’s displayed date and status.
  5. Test a record approaching expiry and an expired test record, where safe and appropriate.
  6. Confirm the widget links to the correct equipment record or evidence.
  7. Check that only authorised staff can access associated documents.

Important

A dashboard alert is a reminder, not a substitute for the statutory examination records, competent-person assessment or the organisation’s lifting-equipment control process.
