Web Release Notes

Features

  • Asset Status Automated Workflow

    • Users can now create automated workflows to alter the asset operational status from requests or work orders:

      • IF a work order is created AND work order category equals "Damage" THEN set asset status to "Non-Operational"

    • Users will no longer have to navigate between work orders and asset records in order to start a downtime operational status.

  • Pausing PMs

    • PM's can now be paused to account for seasonal use and long downtime periods so work orders will not continue to trigger and pile up.

    • No more administrative burden of having to delete extra work orders, or archive/delete PM's and having to deal with creating new ones.

  • Variable PM Scheduling / Meter Triggered PM's

    • Users can now schedule a PM by both time schedule and meter readings allowing for a time based, meter based, or a combination of the two PM's. (Example: Oil change PM will occur every 6 months, or 6,000 miles. )

    • Users no longer have to manage PM's that are just time based while also having to manage meter triggered work orders which potentially will create duplicate WO's in a similar time period.

    • PM's will re-baseline depending on which trigger occurs first (time or meter).

  • Library of Checklists

    • Allow users the ability to pull standardized checklists lists from a centralized library covering inspections, cleaning, and more.

    • Users will be able to filter and view those checklists in a new tab in checklists, and edit and save them to then use on their WO and PM Triggers.

  • Location Based Permissions

    • Allow users of the same company with multiple physical location(s) to all log into one UpKeep instance with a single user email address and a single set of company settings, and view/access only the parts, assets, work orders, and meters relevant to their physical work location(s). Depending on the user, this may be one location, multiple locations, or all locations.
