Maintenance templates
What it is
Section titled “What it is”A maintenance template is a pre-defined maintenance task you can apply to an asset. The template defines the name, description, interval type, and interval value; applying it creates a tracked maintenance item on the asset.
Syndik8 ships with a set of default aircraft templates (Annual Inspection, ARC, 50-Hour Check, 100-Hour Check, Oil Change, Transponder Check). Syndicates can also create their own templates.
Who can use it
Section titled “Who can use it”Only admins and owners create and manage templates. All members see the items the templates produce.
Where to find it
Section titled “Where to find it”- Maintenance list → Add → From template.
- Picked templates appear in a bottom sheet. Tapping a template opens the setup sheet to enter the “last completed” value or date.
- Route:
/syndicates/:syndicateId/assets/:assetId/maintenance.

Behaviour rules
Section titled “Behaviour rules”- Applying a template creates an item, not a link. The item keeps a reference to the template it came from (
template_id), but editing the template does not retroactively change existing items. - Completion of a recurring item automatically creates the next one with the same interval, anchored to the completion time or completion value.
- A template’s interval is not overridden per asset. If you want a different interval for one asset, create a one-off item instead.
- “Is recurring = false” makes the template one-off even when it is applied more than once — each completion stays as
completedwithout auto-creating a next item. - The template list is per-syndicate. Templates created in one syndicate are not visible in another.
