Scheduling Tools
Scheduling tools are used to allocate specific time slots for maintenance tasks, inspections, or other activities related to asset management.
This will benefit staff who perform recurring tasks, such as preventive maintenance, as their duties are repetitive and require consistency.
Once a template or activities are applied to a work order, users can begin scheduling their tool labor.
To do this, navigate from the Record view to the Schedule Tools tab, The Tools tab can be found within the "More" dropdown menu located at the far right of the screen.
