How to create a Checklist?

Learn how to create checklists in Autodesk Fusion Operations

Written by David Andrade


Whether you need checklists for quality control sign-off during production, equipment maintenance, or health and safety inspections, Autodesk Fusion Operations allows you to create these checklists, attach them to the relevant orders, and record the results.

You can create three types of checklists in Autodesk Fusion Operations:

  • Maintenance: It can be attached to a Maintenance Order (learn how to create them here)

  • Quality: Added to operations - filled before, during, or after production.

  • Health & Safety: Checklists that can be filled during health and safety inspections.

1. Navigate to Checklists (1) under the Quality menu in the side panel, and click on Add Checklist (2).

2. Fill the required field with the ‘Code’ of the Checklist that you want to create.

3. Select the ‘Parameters’ that you want to assign to the Checklist. (You can learn how to create parameters here.)

4. For checklists to appear when you are in production, you can select when and if the checklist needs to be filled:

  • Show on production: This option should always be ticked to make a checklist appear in production. With only this option ticked, the checklist will appear when the worker finishes production.

  • On production checkin: Together with ‘Show on production’, this prompts the checklist to appear when starting production instead of when is being finished

  • Show on rework: Together with ‘Show on production’ if you want the checklist to be filled when reworking.

  • Skip when quantity is zero: Together with ‘Show on production’ allows the checklist to be skipped when the production quantity input by the operator is zero.

  • Associate to an open Production: This allows you to create a checklist record for a production while it is ongoing, through the Checklist Record button.

We have an article showing these interactions here.

5. Click on ‘Save Checklist’ to save it, on ‘Save and Continue Editing’ if you want to continue editing the Checklist or on ‘Save and Add Another’ if you have finished editing it and you want to Save it and add another one.

How to record Checklists?

There are different ways to run these checklists depending on the type of checklist:

1. You can create a checklist record with a mobile by clicking on the button ‘Checklist Record’ and choosing the checklist type and checklist you want to fill. If you want to know more, check this article.

2. A ‘Quality Checklist’ can be attached to operations, and a pop-up appears when a worker performs this operation.

3. A Maintenance Checklist can be attached to a Maintenance order and will pop up when a worker performs that Maintenance order.

4. You can attach a checklist to a product to make it appear every time you receive that product.

It is possible to set an alert and receive a message in your email every time a specific parameter in a Checklist doesn’t correspond to a specific range. Read our tutorial on how to set alerts.

As usual, if you have any doubts about these features, talk with us through our Live-Chat feature or directly with your CSM!
