Archibus SaaS / Maintenance / Background Data - Labor

Develop Labor-Related Background Data

You may wish to incrementally develop your labor data. For example, get started with basic craftsperson and trade information, and then add in the craftsperson schedules.

Vendors

Often, you cannot resolve maintenance issues in house, but need to employ outside contractors. Enter the contractors your use in the Vendors table. See Entering Vendors.

Service Contracts

You can enter service contracts -- the document that details the agreement between the service provider and the organization. See Define Service Contracts.

Warranties

When entering your equipment, you can enter the warranties covering it. Knowing the warranty information can be an important for determining how you address an equipment maintenance issue. See Define Warranties.

Craftsperson schedules

In order to schedule labor, you need details about your craftsperson's regular hours, holidays, and so on. Use these tasks to set up the information you need for scheduling.
