Set Up Equipment Measures
Goal: Configure a measurement tracker on a piece of equipment — for example, tracking running hours on an engine or fuel level on a tank — so that readings can be recorded over time and used to trigger maintenance tasks automatically.
Before you start
- You must have permission to manage equipment measures. If you don’t see the option, ask your fleet administrator.
- The equipment must already exist. See Add Equipment.
- The measure type (e.g. “Running Hours”, “Fuel Level”) must exist in the system. Ask your administrator if you don’t find the one you need.
Steps
Open Equipment Measures
-
From the main navigation, open PMS.
-
In the sub-navigation, select Equipment Measures.
The list shows all existing measures, displaying the equipment name, measure type, last recorded value, and last recording date.

Optionally fill in:

Save
- Click Save.
Result
The equipment measure is active and appears in the Equipment Measures list. The crew can now record values against it (see Record a Measurement), and you can use it as a trigger condition when creating maintenance tasks (see Create a Task) or as a step inside inspection rounds (see Create a Round).
