Downtime Category

Downtime Categories allow you to organize downtime entries by category such as 'Breakdown', 'Planned Downtime', etc. You can use Downtime Categories to be able to track why an Asset was out of service, and you can use this information to create reports about Downtime by Asset Category, Downtime Category, Problem Code, and Asset Location.

Downtime Category can be used during the Downtime registration, as well as directly on the Downtime Card.

It is not mandatory to use Downtime Category.

Create Downtime Category

The steps to create Downtime Category are:

1. In Tell Me, search for Downtime Category.
2. Add your categories (examples: Planned, Unplanned) .
