Preventative Maintenance (PM)

Automated scheduling system for recurring maintenance tasks.

What It Is

Automated scheduling system for recurring maintenance tasks.

Why It Matters

  • Prevents costly breakdowns

  • Extends asset life

  • Meets compliance/brand standards

  • Reduces emergency repairs

How It Works

Build Procedures: Create task checklists.

  • Location-based (general use)

  • Asset-based (specific equipment type)

To begin a New Preventative Maintenance schedule, navigate to the Manage tab, and click on New Preventative Maintenance.

Create Schedule:

  • Fill out the required fields, such as:

  • Name, description

  • Frequency

  • Locations

  • Procedures

  • Start date (optional end date)

Note: Locations and Procedures must be created before being included in a Preventative Maintenance Schedule.

Track & Complete: System generates recurring instances.

  • Users complete tasks or mark skipped (must provide reason).

  • Past instances can be reviewed in the schedule detail view.

Best Practices

  • Start with 3–5 schedules (monthly HVAC, quarterly guest room checks).

  • Stagger start dates to balance workload.

  • Use location-based procedures unless highly asset-specific.

  • Skipped PMs remain visible for compliance history.

FAQs:

Can I edit a Preventative Maintenance schedule after launch?

Yes, minor changes can be made, but new schedule would be needed for major edits.

Where do past cycles live?

In Active → Date Selector; History section only for ended schedules.
