In Asset Infinity, multiple maintenance schedules can be created at once. This is useful when your company has many assets with multiple assets needing maintenance at the same time. This also saves you from the hassle of creating each maintenance schedule individually leading to a wastage of time and effort.
To create multiple maintenance schedules at once, data regarding the schedules needs to be uploaded into the Asset Infinity application.
To upload maintenance schedule data in bulk, you can follow these steps -
Menu > Import Data > Schedules
The schedules screen will open.
There is a spreadsheet given in the schedules screen.
Here, there are multiple steps that users can take to import their data. These are:-
- Users can enter their data in the given spreadsheet.
In the spreadsheet, certain parameters have been marked with an asterisk (*), these parameters are mandatory to be filled for data to be saved.
When we click on save without filling these parameters, we get the following error:
Users need to fill the following parameters in the spreadsheet –
The name of the asset and its location need to be mentioned.
The service vendor involved needs to be specified.
The asset code needs to be mentioned along with a description of the asset.
The activity type to be performed needs to be mentioned along with the user group who will be performing the activity.

We need to mention how soon reminders about the activity will be given – it could be 1 day, 2 days or 3 days before the activity or any other custom schedule based on our requirements.
The date on which the schedule has been created has to be mentioned along with any people we feel should be informed about the activity.
And finally, the user who has created the schedule needs to be mentioned along with the vendor involved in fulfilling the schedule.
