Maintenance Log
Keep a maintenance history for each piece of equipment to track repairs, services, and associated costs.
Adding a Maintenance Entry
- Open the equipment profile you want to log maintenance for.
- Click Add Maintenance Entry.
- Fill in the details:
- Date — when the maintenance was performed
- Type — e.g., Routine Service, Repair, Inspection, Replacement
- Description — what was done (e.g., “Oil change and blade sharpening”)
- Cost — the total cost of the maintenance
- Performed by — who did the work (team member or external vendor)
- Click Save.
Viewing Maintenance History
Each equipment profile has a maintenance history section showing all logged entries in chronological order. You can see:
- Date and type of each service
- Description of work performed
- Cost of each entry
- Running total of maintenance costs
Why Track Maintenance
- Prevent breakdowns — regular maintenance logs help you spot equipment that’s overdue for service.
- Track total cost of ownership — maintenance costs combined with depreciation give you the true cost of owning each piece of equipment.
- Make replacement decisions — when maintenance costs exceed the equipment’s value, it may be time to replace it.
Deleting Entries
Maintenance entries can be deleted if logged in error. Deleted entries are soft-deleted and can be restored.
