Sub-Locations/Equipment

You are able to create hierarchies in Maintenance Manager if you have Locations and/or Equipment that need to link together. Examples of Sub-Locations/Equipment could be rooms or buildings within your main location or equipment located within a location.

Adding Sub-Locations/Equipment

  • To add a Sub-Location/Equipment, click on the Locations/Equipment tab.
  • Hover over the name of the Location/Equipment that you would like to add to and in the Actions drop-down menu that appears to the right, select Add Location/Equipment.

 

 

  • Enter a Name for your new Location/Equipment.
  • The Physical Location field will list the name of the main Location or Equipment that you are adding the new Location/Equipment to.
  • Enter a Description to provide additional details about the Sub-Location/Equipment.
  • Enter in any Notes.
  • Choose a Category to physically describe the type of Sub-Location/Equipment you are entering.
    • Site - geographical area that may contain multiple structures or areas
    • Building - free standing structure
    • Area - place within a building or adjacent to a building (Example: parking lot, office, restroom, etc.)
    • Equipment - piece of equipment work will be performed on
  • Select a Type to further break down the Category. For example, if you are setting up air handling units as equipment, you can title one as "AHU-001", specify the Category as "Equipment", and then select a Type of "HVAC". *Note: The Types shown are determined by the Category you have selected.
  • The fields available in the Attributes section of the form will vary depending on the Category that is chosen for this Sub-Location/Equipment. Fill in those fields as necessary. *Note: If you selected the Equipment category and filled out the Warranty Expiration Date in the Attributes section, when choosing that equipment on the work order form, a small note will appear letting you know if the equipment is under warranty.
  • You can add Usage, Attachments, and Links to your Location/Equipment, if applicable.
  • Click Save.
