Placing Items into Maintenance Using the Workers App
Proper maintenance tracking is essential for protecting your company’s assets and ensuring that equipment is in safe, working condition. Within the Workers App, workers have the ability to flag items for maintenance, keeping them out of rotation until they're repaired, inspected, or otherwise cleared for use. This not only enhances safety and accountability, but also helps prevent operational delays due to faulty or damaged items.

What Does "Putting an Item Into Maintenance" Do?
When an item is placed into Maintenance through the Workers App, it becomes unavailable for future events and other workers will see that the item is currently under maintenance and will not be able to upsell the item. Putting items into maintenance is especially useful for items that are damaged, needing inspection, or are undergoing upgrades. This is going to be item specific and not the same as black out dates.
