Operating Logs
Concepts & Definitions
Operating logs record the usage history of an asset — tracking when it was in operation, for how long, and any meter readings captured during each operating period. This data feeds into usage-based maintenance schedules (where maintenance is triggered by hours run, kilometres driven, or cycles completed) and provides an audit trail for asset utilisation analysis.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Start Time | The date and time the asset’s operating period began |
| End Time | The date and time the operating period ended |
| Run Length | The computed duration of the operating period (End Time minus Start Time) |
| Meter Readings | Usage values recorded at the end of the period — e.g. odometer reading, machine hours, cycle count |
How To
Record an Operating Log
Navigate to Admin → Asset Management → Operating Logs.

- Click New.
- Select the Asset (only assets with a Running status are available).
- Set the Start Time and End Time of the operating period.
- Add a Description if needed.
- On the Meter Readings sub-tab, enter the usage readings captured at the end of the period (e.g. odometer reading, operating hours).
- Click Save, then Approve to confirm the log entry.
Approved operating logs update the meter readings used by usage-based maintenance schedules to determine when the next maintenance interval falls due.
