Use a maintenance template

Use a maintenance template

Create a maintenance item from a preset so you don’t have to type the name, description, and typical interval.

Before you start

• You must be an admin on the syndicate.
• Templates are listed on each asset. A template that is already set up for this asset is shown as Already set up and cannot be added twice.

Steps

1. Open the asset: Syndicate → Assets → [asset].
2. Open Maintenance on the asset.
3. Tap Add maintenance item.
4. Choose From template.
5. Pick a template from the list. The section Essential checks covers annual inspections, ARC renewals, and 50-hour checks; Additional checks covers 100-hour checks, oil changes, and transponder checks.
6. The setup sheet opens, showing the template name, description, interval type, and interval value. These are read-only; the template’s values are used as-is.
7. Enter the Meter reading at last completion (for hours-based templates) or choose the Last completed on date (for calendar-based templates), so the next-due date or value can be calculated.
8. Tap Set up.

Syndik8 creates the maintenance item with the template’s defaults, and the template is marked Already set up on this asset.

If it goes wrong

• “Failed to create maintenance item”: check your connection and retry; the partial setup is not saved.
• Template marked as “Already set up”: open the existing item under the maintenance list to edit it.
