View Functional Location Details

A Functional Location is a fixed position within a plant, building, or facility where equipment is installed and maintenance tasks are performed. It serves as a reference point for organizing assets, tracking maintenance activities, and managing historical data.

Unlike equipment, which can be moved or replaced, a functional location remains permanent. It helps in:
  • Structuring asset management efficiently.
  • Streamlining maintenance workflows.
  • Ensuring compliance with safety and operational standards.
  • Providing a clear reference for work orders and inspections.

By defining functional locations, businesses can improve asset tracking, reduce downtime, and optimize maintenance planning.

To view the Functional Location details:

  1. Navigate to the More screen.
  2. Select the Functional Location module.
  3. In the Functional Location screen, tap the functional location from the list to view details.

    Or

    Tap the Scan icon at the bottom-right corner and scan the QR code on the location. The scanner reads the code and displays the functional location details.

    Tap the Hierarchy icon in the top-right corner to view the complete structure of the functional location, including all connected equipment and BOMs across multiple levels.

    To navigate upward through the hierarchy:
    • Tap the Up Arrow icon to view the immediate parent and its sibling locations.
    • Continue tapping to move upward through each level.
    • When you reach the top-level functional location, the icon becomes greyed out, indicating no further parent exists.
