Create an asset hierarchy that reflects buildings, rooms and equipment before importing maintenance records. Start with a small set of critical assets and define the work needed to keep them serviceable, including who receives and closes each request.
Use maintenance history to refine schedules and identify recurring failures. openMAINT’s AGPL terms include attribution requirements, while hosting and professional services remain separate. Keep drawings and supporting documents organized alongside asset records, and validate the process with technicians who perform the actual work.
