Types of Checks
There are 2 types of checks, default checks and custom checks:
- A default check is done whenever that person is seen. This is most often a Fitness for Duty check but can be set up as you wish.
- A custom check is scheduled for either a specific person or audience (group of people) to be checked.
Default Checks - FFD
Fitness for Duty (FFD) checks are enabled by default on the system. They are applied automatically to all candidates and are designed to be completed whenever that person is seen.
Custom Checks
Custom checks are any additional checks that are required in ACMS e.g. a Fatigue Check could be utilised when a Driver's Fatigue Index is high and it is necessary to assess whether they are safe to continue work. These can be customised to capture any information that is required when the check is performed.

Scheduling a Custom Check
As custom checks are not default they must be scheduled for a particular audience or candidate. This is done in the Check Workbench admin:

After selecting Schedule Custom Check, you will be guided through the necessary steps in the wizard:
Step 1: Select the custom check you would like to schedule:
Step 2: Select whether you'd like to schedule the check for a particular audience or candidate:
Step 3: Select a request date (this auto-populates to the current date and time) and an expiry date if necessary.
Once this information has been submitted, it is possible to perform the custom check through the Perform Checks page. Individuals with a Scheduled Custom Check will have a number in the additional check (final) column on the page, which indicates the number of additional checks that they have scheduled:
At the top of the page, you will see three buttons which alter the way in which the page is sorted:
- Candidate: sorts the page alphabetically by candidates' surnames
- Check: sorts the page by how overdue the FFD checks are
- Additional: sorts page by the number of additional checks the candidates have
Custom Checks are completed in the same manner as FFD checks (i.e. by double-clicking a candidate and filling in the Check Options and Properties).
Additional Custom Checks assigned to an individual will show in the tabs at the top of the page. Here's the example of the Fatigue Check:
