Frequently Asked Questions
What is a daily maintenance log, and why use it?
A daily maintenance log is a structured record of shift activities: inspections, work performed, parts used, observations, and handover notes. It creates a time-stamped audit trail that improves continuity, compliance and root-cause analysis.
Should techs use the Excel sheet or the mobile PDF on the floor?
Use whichever fits your connectivity and device policy. The mobile PDF is best for quick on-floor entry and photos; Excel/Google Sheets work well on tablets or where you want automatic timestamps and easier CSV export for CMMS import.
How often should I import logs into the CMM, S and what fields matter?
Common cadence is weekly; high-value sites may import daily. Key fields to map are asset_id, date, shift, activity_description, start_time, end_time, parts_used, work_order_id and photo_links to preserve traceability and enable analytics.
What common mistakes should I avoid when using daily logs?
Avoid vague entries (e.g., “fixed it”); always include asset IDs and photo evidence for failures. Don’t skip timestamps or sign-offs. Align log fields to CMMS codes (asset IDs, part numbers) before roll-out to streamline imports.
