Screen Reference

This section on the home page provides access to FastMaint's lists e.g. equipment list, location list, part list, work order list, etc.

Instructions

•Once you open a list (e.g. list of Parts) by clicking on it, you can add and edit the contents of each list using the Add New button at the bottom or the Edit button next to an entry.

•List Filters: With the list displayed, select a column and criteria in the drop downs at the top, enter a value to search by and click on the Refresh button at the bottom of the page to quickly locate entries e.g. find all work orders with a number starting with “5”, find an equipment named “PUMP-56A”.

•Find: Use the Find link to quickly locate entries e.g. find all work orders with a number starting with “5”, find an equipment named “PUMP-56A”. The Find feature is particularly useful if you have barcode support since you can scan in the barcode and quickly pull up the relevant record.

Listing

Link (on Home Page)	Description
Calendars	Calendars are used for a variety of reasons: •For scheduling tasks based on holidays and working times. •Calculation of equipment meters based on estimated use. •Specifying when people are available for work, so as to detect availability conflicts during Planning.
Categories	Categories are a useful way to classify tasks, equipment people and parts, e.g. "electrical", "plumbing", and "Production".
Equipment	Examples of equipment include air conditioning plants, pumps, vehicles, and printers.
Locations	Specifying locations makes it easier to perform and track work orders, as well as to report and classify all the maintenance data you collect. If you are doing facilities maintenance, Locations could be used to specify the buildings/ rooms/ areas which need maintenance work.
Parts	Parts are items required to complete a task, e.g. an air conditioning filter, a toner cartridge, or a quart of oil. When you mark a task as complete, FastMaint reduces the quantity of required parts accordingly.
People	Tell FastMaint about people who work for you or your company, whether as contractors or employees.
Purchases	Purchase orders can be created to order parts from vendors. You can see outstanding purchase orders on each part. When purchase order items are received they are added to stock.
Tasks	Each task describes a job or action that can be specified in a work order, for example a weekly maintenance check, fixing an equipment breakdown or doing a 3000 mile vehicle service.
Vendors	Enter vendors into the system and list and rate them as possible suppliers for equipment and parts. You can then generate purchase orders, and print vendor contact information on Parts to Reorder reports.
Work Orders	Use work orders to assign maintenance tasks for particular dates and times. FastMaint automatically schedules work orders for regular tasks, however you still have to create these manually, or run a Planning Report.
Work Requests	Work requests enable you - or your clients or staff - to request "Unplanned" tasks or report "Alarm" conditions on equipment. Once these requests have been submitted, administrators can go in and review the work requests and create work orders from them.
