How to access Plant & Equipment settings
Go to Asset Management
Select your Plant & Equipment Register
Click More
Edit Settings
Project Access
Control where the register appears.
Show on all projects, or
Show on selected projects only
This allows you to restrict visibility to specific projects if required.
Allow register items to be assigned to projects
Enable this setting to allow plant items to be:
Assigned to a single project, or
Assigned to multiple projects
This is useful if the same plant is used across several sites.
Forms
Enable forms on register items
Turn this on to attach forms directly to register items.
You can add:
Inspections
Audits
Inductions
Other custom forms
These forms can reference the specific plant item.
Assignees
Enable register items to be assigned to individual users
This allows plant items to be assigned to specific users.
You can also choose to:
Display the assignees of a register item within the register view.
Follow-Up Date
Enable follow-up date
Adds a follow-up date field to register items.
This can be used to indicate when:
A review is required
Maintenance is due
An action must be completed
For example: setting a next review date.
Unique Identifier
Show register unique identifier
Displays a system-generated identifier for each item.
Example:
PLANT-123
This helps with tracking and referencing plant items.
Company Management
Allow companies to manage register items assigned to them
When enabled, companies can manage plant items that are assigned to them.
This is useful when subcontractors are responsible for maintaining or updating their own plant records.
See form data in your register
You can select important form responses to display as columns in your register view.
For example:
Display the Last Service Date field from your most recent Plant Induction Form.
This helps surface critical information directly in the register list without opening individual items.
