Automated Cat 1 Load Test Reminders
Every Monday, WebRun opens FIELDBOSS, reads each elevator's last Category 1 annual no-load test date, works out which units come due in the next sixty days, logs them to a Google Sheet, and sends your compliance lead a Telegram reminder ranked by how soon each is due.
How do I track annual Category 1 elevator load tests?
Every Monday, WebRun reads each elevator's last Category 1 annual test date in FIELDBOSS, works out which units come due within 60 days, and logs them to a Google Sheet sorted soonest-first. It sends your compliance lead a Telegram reminder with anything inside 14 days at the top, so no annual load test is ever missed.

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Does it schedule the test or contact the inspector?
No. WebRun only produces an internal reminder and a logged sheet for your compliance lead. It never books an inspector or emails a jurisdiction on its own. A person decides how and when each test is scheduled.
How far ahead does it warn me?
It flags any unit whose Cat 1 test is due within 60 days and pushes anything inside 14 days to the top of the Telegram reminder, so nothing sneaks up on you.
Where does it get the last test date?
It reads each elevator's recorded Category 1 test history in FIELDBOSS, so the due date is calculated from your live records, not a separate spreadsheet you have to maintain.
