How to set up and edit PM triggers for multiple assets

Updated over 3 months ago

Available On: Starter, Professional and Business Plus


The Multi-Asset PM (MAPM) feature streamlines PM record management for similar assets with shared tasks. For instance, an annual inspection involving identical steps across a group of assets can now be managed by adding them to a single multi-asset PM. This generates individual work orders while maintaining task consistency. 📋🛠️👥
