Enabling Maintenance Management
Maintenance Management is enabled by default in new online systems. The
feature can be revised (or disabled) by a System Administrator from the Admin
Tab / Features and Options. Similarly,
squawk tracking as a part of Maintenance Management is enabled by default, but can be
disabled by operators who prefer a different method for tracking discrepancies.
Additionally, certain maintenance defaults can be changed by an Administrator in
the Formats and Defaults Parameters / Maintenance
Defaults. For more
information, please see Maintenance Parameters.
Maintenance Management Setup

When Maintenance Management is enabled, the Manage
Tab / Maintenance Menu
provides access to a Maintenance Status report for general staff users, and

designated in the Staff Security settings for the particular manager by the
Administrator).
The Maintenance Menu consists of up to six sections, dependent upon the
