Documents
Last modified:
As an asset manager, you may store all kinds of documents in a folder structure, document management system, or even on paper. In mc Assetpilot, you can store documents digitally and all in one place, right along with your contacts, tasks, and forecasts.
Overview of the documents domain
Documents must be created for each asset. Document types include:
Contracts: For example power purchase agreements, land lease contracts, supplier contracts, employment contracts.
Other documents: For example acceptance certificate from an energy supplier, data sheets.
To effectively use the documents feature, you must "process" files upon upload, which involves labeling them with important information. This enables you to leverage your data for multiple functions and display it in various widgets.
Different types of documents require different processing inputs. For example, when processing contracts, you should enter the start and end dates, and the notice period. The Contracts widget can then notify you of upcoming deadlines.
You can also apply tags to documents to help you find them more quickly. By assigning a tag, such as "maintenance," the document will appear in a search using that tag.
To learn how to integrate documents into your dashboards, see Dashboard and widgets.
