    - Create an Ad-Hoc Round
      Ad-hoc tasks in mRounds allow supervisors to address urgent or unplanned maintenance activities that are not part of the regular round plans. These tasks can be created on the fly to handle issues that require immediate attention, such as equipment failures or safety concerns. Once created, ad-hoc tasks can be assigned to available operators, ensuring quick resolution of critical problems.
    - Configure Round Plan Details PDF
      Configure the PDF on the left side pane to customize what information appears in the PDF reports generated from completed round plans such as attributes present in the Header, Subject, Summary Page, Footer, and Body Content sections. This ensures that the right data, such as task details, equipment status, and operator actions, are clearly presented in the final report.
  - Review and Approve Round Plans
    Supervisors review and approve newly created or edited round plans to ensure quality control, adherence to standards, and prevent errors before publishing.
  - Schedule Round Plans
    The Schedule Round Plans feature in the mRounds web app allows supervisors to automate the execution of maintenance rounds by scheduling them at specific intervals. This ensures that critical equipment checks and maintenance tasks occur regularly, reducing the risk of missed inspections or equipment failures.
  - Create and Manage Round Templates
    Creating round templates in mRounds helps supervisors and operators maintain standardized, reusable inspection or maintenance routines. By defining a round template, you can create consistent processes that can be applied across different assets, locations, and plants. These templates simplify the process of creating new round plans and ensure that any changes made to a template automatically reflect in all associated plans, reducing redundancy and human error.
- View Round Plans and Submitted Rounds
  View and manage round plans to monitor maintenance activities effectively. This feature allows you to track the completion status of rounds, identify issues flagged by operators, and ensure all tasks are completed as planned.
- Create and Manage Issues
  Effective issue management is vital for maintaining optimal equipment performance and minimizing downtime. Supervisors in mRounds can create new issues based on operator feedback, track the progress of ongoing issues, and ensure tasks are completed and closed after resolution. This topic will guide you through the entire process, from issue creation to closure.
- Create and Manage Actions
  Creating actions helps you and operators address issues identified during inspections or rounds. These actions serve as follow-up tasks, ensuring critical issues receive prompt attention and are systematically tracked to resolution. This process aids in maintaining equipment performance and minimizing downtime, contributing to smoother operations.
- Create ERP Notification for an Asset
  Create a notification for an equipment to escalate issues that require further action within the organization’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) system while executing round tasks.

These criteria can include status, priority, date, or assigned personnel.

Archiving completed or inactive plans keeps the active workspace clear, while the Restore feature allows you to bring back any archived plan when needed. These tools ensure that important plans remain accessible and organized.
