## Trigger each PM by date, hours, or both

Choose daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly, or a set number of running hours, such as every 500. Pick Either, and whichever comes first makes the work order.

## Put many assets on one schedule by tag

Tag a group of assets and assign them to a schedule in bulk. A new asset with that tag picks up the schedule.

## Get each PM done and on record

Each PM's work order carries its checklist to the technician's phone, and each asset shows its PM compliance.

  Technicians follow the checklist on Android and add photos.
