## Overview

Go to **Walkaround Checks > Overview** to open the Defects Overview page. This view pulls together walkaround check data from across your fleet into a single analytics dashboard, helping you spot patterns, identify problem vehicles, and track compliance trends over time.

## What the Page Shows

The Defects Overview provides aggregated metrics including:

* **Defect rates** -- how frequently inspections are raising defects across your fleet, so you can see whether the trend is improving or worsening.
* **Vehicle compliance** -- which vehicles are consistently passing their walkaround checks and which are flagged with recurring issues.
* **Time-range filtering** -- adjust the date range to focus on a specific period, whether that is the last week, month, or a custom range.

## How to Use This Page

1. Open the **Overview** sub-page from the Walkaround Checks menu.
2. Set your desired time range using the date filter controls.
3. Review the defect rate metrics to understand overall fleet health.
4. Identify vehicles or depots with above-average defect rates.
5. Drill into the [Walkaround Checks list](/documentation/core-modules/walkaround-checks/defects-list.md) to review individual submissions for any vehicle that needs attention.

{% hint style="success" %}
Review the Defects Overview regularly, weekly at a minimum. A rising defect rate can indicate maintenance issues, driver training gaps, or vehicles approaching end of life.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
The Overview complements the main Walkaround Checks list. Use the Overview for trends and the list for individual submission details.
{% endhint %}
