Create and Manage Master Data
Master Data forms the foundation of the system, providing essential information such as plants, shifts, locations, assets, units of measurement, and response sets. Properly setting up master data ensures seamless work order management, asset tracking, and operational efficiency.
Create Plants
Creating plants allows you to define different facilities, factories, or operational sites within the system. Each plant represents a physical location where maintenance activities take place. By setting up plants, you can organize tasks, assets, and users based on specific sites, ensuring clear management and reporting.

Create and Manage Master Data
Master Data forms the foundation of the system, providing essential information such as plants, shifts, locations, assets, units of measurement, and response sets. Properly setting up master data ensures seamless work order management, asset tracking, and operational efficiency.
- Create Plants
  Creating plants allows you to define different facilities, factories, or operational sites within the system. Each plant represents a physical location where maintenance activities take place. By setting up plants, you can organize tasks, assets, and users based on specific sites, ensuring clear management and reporting.
- Create Shifts
  Shifts help structure work schedules by defining specific time periods during which technicians and other personnel operate. Creating shifts ensures that work orders, tasks, and maintenance activities are assigned efficiently based on working hours, helping manage workload distribution and resource availability.
- Create Locations
  Locations represent specific areas within a plant where assets and maintenance activities are managed. For example, a plant may have locations such as Production Floor, Warehouse, or Cooling Unit Area. Defining locations allows for better tracking of assets, and maintenance tasks in a structured manner.
- Create Assets
  Assets refer to machines, equipment, or infrastructure that require maintenance and monitoring. By creating assets in the system, you can assign maintenance tasks, track maintenance history, and monitor performance. Each asset can be linked to a specific plant and location, ensuring organized asset management.
- Create Unit of Measurement
  Units of Measurement (UOM) define the quantities used for tracking materials, components, and measurements. For example, units like liters, kilograms, meters, or hours help standardize data entry and ensure consistency.
- Create Global Response Set
  Global Response Sets allow you to create predefined answer choices for forms, inspections, and work order documentation. Instead of manually entering responses, technicians and supervisors can select from standardized options, improving data accuracy and consistency in reporting and compliance checks. For example, if the Response Set is created for Country, then the responses are all the countries that can be selected from the drop-down.
- Bulk Upload Master Data
  Bulk uploading allows you to efficiently add large sets of master data, such as locations, assets, unit of measurement, and global response set using an Excel template. Instead of manually entering data one by one, you can fill out the provided template and upload it in a few simple steps.
Onboarding Tenants/Super Admins
Use the Tenant Management module to create tenant or super admin roles for onboarded customers/user and provide access to the applications and modules.
Onboarding Users and Assigning Roles
Use the User Management module to create roles and so on, create users, and assign relevant roles to the users.

Create Plants

Creating plants allows you to define different facilities, factories, or operational sites within the system. Each plant represents a physical location where maintenance activities take place. By setting up plants, you can organize tasks, assets, and users based on specific sites, ensuring clear management and reporting.

To create or add a plant:

Click the Master Configuration module on the left side pane and click Plants.

Figure 1. Plants Screen
Click Create New and select Add Manually.

Figure 2. Add Plant Details
In the Create Plant window, enter plant details like Name, Plant Id, Country, Zip Code, State, Time Zone, Shifts, and Additional Details.

Note:
If the Plant ID already exists, an error message “Plant ID <> already exists” is displayed. Use another ID.
Enable the Geo Location Tracking toggle to enable geo-location tracking while executing rounds.
Enable the Activate Location/Asset Scan toggle to allow operators to scan the asset in the assigned plant using the Scan option. If the toggle is disabled, the operators cannot view the Scan option.
Click Create.
Note:
- To modify plant details, in the Plants screen, click the More icon next to the plant and select Edit.
- To delete a plant, in the Plants screen, click the More icon next to the plant and select Delete.
