Once assets are created, you can schedule work orders. Each work order is a request for a specific maintenance activity to be performed on a particular asset.
There are generally two types of maintenance:
Corrective: Corrective maintenance is work done to fix a problem with an asset. Because corrective maintenance responds to a reported issue, users create work orders manually as needed.
Preventive: Preventive maintenance refers to work performed on an asset to decrease the likelihood of malfunctions or breakdowns. You can create work orders for preventive maintenance activities from an asset's defined preventive maintenance orders.
The following table describes a sequence of activities, with links to the topics that describe them. These activities are listed in the order in which they are generally performed.
