Announcing DQ-it Enhancements 8/18/2011

August 18th, 2011

DQ-it (DQ-it CSA) Added Features Newsletter



Our team has added new features to the DQ-it CSA module to better assist you in managing and organizing your CSA data.

In this issue:


- Improved Driver Profile Page


- Displaying 'Clean Inspections


- Red Flag Violations


- Excel Export


- Coming Soon! CSA Fleet Management


Improved Driver Profile Page
In recent months, users have experienced the benefit of added data available on the driver profile page. In addition to the driver qualification file documents, individual CSA data on each driver is also displayed on the profile page. In order to limit the 'noise' associated with mass amounts of data, we have made the CSA data a collapsible field. This will allow easy viewing of the DQ file notifications, but at the same time place the CSA data at your fingertips. As a default, the CSA History box will be collapsed. Using the same feature currently in operation with the DQ file packages, clicking the triangle will expand the CSA box for viewing of the CSA data (see below).

Expanded 'CSA History' data view.



Display 'Clean' Inspections
We recently identified a bug in the DQ-it CSA application that did not always display 'clean' inspections; inspections without any violations. The bug has been fixed and now all 'clean' inspections will appear on the driver profile page.



Red Flag Violations


The FMCSA has identified 12 violations that are considered egregious violations. These 'Red Flag' violations carry the maximum 30 CSA points and focus on driver history (see list of Red Flag Violations.) We have added functionality to the DQ-it CSA application to allow you to identify when a driver has a 'Red Flag' violation. The new functionality is featured as a filter in the 'CSA Hit-List,' highlighted on the inspection reports and driver profile page, and a available as a sort field in the 'Advanced Details' section.

Excel Export
Another feature added to the DQ-it application is the ability to export CSA data from the 'CSA Scores' tab, 'CSA Hit-list,' and 'Advanced Details. This will allow users to quickly and easily share reports from different Areas and Divisions in the company.


Coming Soon! CSA Fleet Management
Our team is currently working on an enhancement to DQ-it CSA that will allow companies to manage their CSA Vehicle Maintenance violations on a vehicle level. Using a sophisticated matching system, DQ-it will load individual vehicles into the DQ-it application and match the company vehicle ID with the VIN and Plate number provided by FMCSA. This will be a great tool for maintenance managers to identify vehicles with ongoing issues. Stay tuned!
