Add an Asset Reading

Work orders can be automatically generated from asset readings when the defined interval, milestone, or threshold is exceeded. For example, fleet assets can be configured to automatically generate an oil change work order every time that asset reaches a 3,000-mile interval.

PREREQUISITES: Configure asset readings in Admin. See Configure Asset Readings in the Admin Guide for Trimble Unity Maintain and Trimble Unity Permit for more information.
