Introduction to iMaintenance
Use this guide to prepare for the shift, assess reported issues, plan and assign work, monitor execution, and close completed work in iMaintenance.
Get Started with the Application
Sign in and learn the screens and controls you need before preparing and supervising maintenance work.
Prepare for Your Shift
Before the shift begins, set the synchronization scope, review notifications, find priority work, and confirm the required records are available.
Assess Issues
Decide what to do with a reported issue and, where corrective work is needed, convert it into a work order.
Create and Assign Work Orders
Create a work order from the maintenance need, verify its details, add the required operations and prerequisites, then review and create it for assignment or release.
- Start a Work Order
  Begin creating a work order by describing the issue using the camera, a text prompt, or voice input.
- Review AI-Suggested Details
  Review and adjust the work order details the AI assistant suggests before saving.
- Select Equipment and Functional Location
  Confirm the equipment and functional location before planning the work so dependent plant and planning values use the correct asset context.
- Set Priority and Risk
  Review the suggested risk and priority before adding operations so the work can be planned at the appropriate urgency.
- Add Operations from a Task List
  Divide a work order into operations selected from an existing task list and assign each one to a technician based on expertise.
- Add an Operation Manually
  Add an operation manually when the required task is not available in a configured task list.
- Edit or Remove an Operation
  Modify an operation's details, or remove, duplicate, or add a sub-operation to it.
- Add Sub-Operations
  Break down a complex operation into smaller sub-operations for easier tracking.
- Add Components
  Add the components, such as spare parts and tools, required to complete a work order.
- Attach or Raise a Permit
  Ensure the correct permit is linked to the work order before it is assigned to a technician.
- Attach a Work Instruction to a Work Order
  Attach a Work Instruction that applies to the entire work order, not just a single operation.
- Attach a Work Instruction to an Operation
  Attach an operation-level Work Instruction when only that operation requires the procedure.
- Understand How Work Instructions Are Automatically Assigned
  Work Instructions can be automatically added to a work order based on configured mapping rules rather than manual attachment.
- Remove a Linked Work Instruction
  Unlink a Work Instruction that was attached to a work order or operation by mistake or is no longer relevant.
- Add Forms

Monitor and Intervene
During execution, identify work that is at risk, unassigned, on hold, overdue, or awaiting review, then take the action needed to keep the shift moving.
Review and Close Completed Work
After execution is complete, verify time, safety, component, form, and follow-up records before closing the work order.
View Equipment Details
Review equipment information, related work, documents, hierarchy, and measuring points.
View Functional Location Details
Review a functional location, its hierarchy, associated equipment, documents, history, and measuring points.
Settings, Help, and Profile
Manage display and language preferences, open support resources, and review your profile and session history outside the active work journey.

Add Components

Add the components, such as spare parts and tools, required to complete a work order.

Add components during planning when the job requires specific materials, spare parts, or tools. Linking them to the work order or operation gives the technician the required quantity, material, operation, and recipient details before execution.

To add components to the work order:

In the Components tab, tap the Add icon on the right side.
A pop-up is displayed with the following options:
- Add from BOM (Bill of Materials)
- Add Manually
Figure 1. Add Components
If you select Add from BOM, do the following:
