Viewing Asset Work History

Every asset in CLUE keeps a running history of maintenance activity. This helps your team review past work, spot repeat problems, and make better repair decisions over time.

‍

Overview

The work history section shows the records linked to an asset in one place. Instead of checking different parts of the system one by one, you can open the asset and review its work orders, fault codes, and inspection issues together.

This is especially useful when you are already using the Asset Directory, Asset Detail View, and Creating and Managing Work Orders to track maintenance.

‍

Accessing Work History

You can find work history from the asset record. Open the asset first, then look for the sections that show linked maintenance and issue records.

Step 1: Open the Asset Directory

Go to Directory → Assets from the main menu.

Step 2: Open the asset

Click any asset row to open its detail panel.

Step 3: Review the history sections

In the asset detail panel, look for the sections that show linked work history records.

Types of History Records

Work history is made up of a few different record types. Looking at them together gives you a more complete view of what has happened on that asset.

Work Orders

The work order section shows maintenance and repair work tied to the asset. This helps you review what work was done, what is still open, and what the asset has cost to maintain.

You can see things like:

• completed repairs and services
• open work orders still in progress
• work order types, such as PM, Repair, or Machine Down
• labor hours and parts used

This section connects directly with Creating and Managing Work Orders and Updating a Work Order.

Fault Codes

The fault code section shows diagnostic trouble codes reported by the asset. This helps your team review active alerts and look back at past issues.

You can see things like:

• active and historical fault codes
• severity levels, such as Critical, Warning, or Info
• when a code was triggered
• when a code was cleared

This is useful when the same code appears more than once or when you want to compare fault history with past repairs.

Inspection Issues

The inspection issues section shows problems found during inspections. This helps you review what operators or inspectors reported and what follow-up work came from those issues.

You can see things like:

• DVIR issues reported by operators
• issue status and resolution dates
• related work orders created from the issue

This can also support Creating Work Orders from Issues when an inspection finding turns into repair work.

Using History for Decisions

Asset work history is more than a record of past work. It also helps your team make better decisions about maintenance planning, repair timing, and asset replacement.

Work history can help you:

• spot repeat problems that may need a permanent fix
• review total cost of ownership over time
• decide whether to repair or replace older equipment
• prepare for audits, reviews, or equipment sales

It can also help when adjusting PM schedules or reviewing how an asset has performed across different projects.

Tips

A quick review of work history can save time before major repair decisions. It also helps make sure your team is working from the full record instead of only the latest issue.

• Review history before approving major repairs
• Look for repeat fault codes or repeat issue types
• Use work history when planning PM schedules
• Check linked work orders before creating a new repair
• Review inspection issues and repair history together for a fuller picture
