Maintenance

About the maintenance register

Use the Maintenance register to schedule and manage asset maintenance tasks.


Workflow

The Stage Navigation Bar displays the workflow stages that the maintenance task will follow once scheduled. 

  1. Maintenance details - In this stage you describe the maintenance task, define the instructions, link associated documents, schedule the frequency of the task, and assign who will complete and close the maintenance task. These details only need to be set once as the information is automatically copied to the next occurrence of the task in the schedule.      
  2. Action stage - In this stage the Action officer completes the maintenance task. Progress notes can also be made and records can be attached. 
  3. Close stage - In this stage the Approval officer will close the task or delegate further action if required.

Maintenance register tabs

When you navigate to the Maintenance register the following tabs are displayed:

In progress Displays maintenance events currently in progress and assigned to a user.
Closed Displays all current, closed and future maintenance events including those which have been skipped.
All Displays current, closed and future maintenance events which are scheduled but not yet due to be assigned to a user.
Audit schedule Displays your organisation's current maintenance program.  
Draft Displays draft maintenance events which can be saved prior to being assigned and scheduled.

Maintenance details form tabs

The Maintenance details form comprises two tabs:

Description Contains the details and schedule of the maintenance event.  For a full description of the details form and programming a schedule, click on the following article: Schedule a maintenance event
Series Displays all the audits in the series as per the schedule. (see Form series component description below)

Series tab

All the maintenance events of the series are listed including closed, current and the next upcoming event not yet assigned.  The list also shows any records attached to the maintenance event.  

Tip:  The Series tab is a valuable tool for quickly assessing an maintenance schedule. It provides a comprehensive overview of completed maintenance events, the current status of open maintenance, and the upcoming maintenance event in the series. By utilising this tab, you can identify overdue maintenance and be sure that you are working on the correct maintenance event in the series. 


Maintenance Schedule

This component enables you to schedule the maintenance event and set the frequency. You can program once off maintenance events or program an maintenance series with a recurring schedule.

Closing and skipping an audit.

The Schedule component also allows you to close the current maintenance event and skip to the next maintenance event in the series.  This is useful if a maintenance event has been missed and the next in the series has been generated.  Learn more.

You can also choose to close and halt the maintenance schedule which will close the current maintenance event and prevent future tasks in the series being generated.  Note:  If other maintenance events in the series have been generated, they will need to be closed off.  Learn more.
