PMXpert's User Manual has been completely overhauled to provide you with better access to the assistance you need. It still contains all of the step-by-step instructions, examples, screenshots and hyperlinked cross-references as before, but now you have two options when accessing the manual: Online and Local.

The Local Manual, which was previously a PDF document, has been updated to CHM files. You will find that this new Help is easy to navigate and the screenshots are much clearer. Also, it has been enhanced with a Search feature and extensive point-and-click Index. If you frequently refer to certain topics, you can save them in your Favorites.

Online Manual will take you to the new HTML Manual on our website. Now, you no longer need to print or save a large document every time the manual and program are upgraded. The most current edition of the manual is always right at your fingertips.

If you are in the latest version of PMXpert, go to the Help menu and select Use Online Manual or Use Local Manual. A check mark will appear next to your selection. Now, select Help | Contents. The newly updated manual in your selected format will appear. If local help still appears as PDF, select Help | Download and Update Help to download the latest CHM Help files. Note that you will need rights to write to the folder to which the Help file is saved.

The manual is still available in PDF and Online on our Website.

Studies show that regularly maintained equipment saves a minimum of 5% of the annual repair and maintenance budget. One of the major features of PMXpert that can help you keep your assets properly maintained is the PM Schedule, which provides a fast and simple way to automatically create all the Work Orders you need.

It is easy to use the PM Schedule. Click one button and you will know what needs servicing. Click a second button and make all the Work Orders. That’s it! The accurate service scheduling prevents users from accidentally missing a service.

In order to use the PM Schedule, you need to set up your assets with services and ensure that the services are scheduled properly. When you set up PMXpert, you can create as many services as necessary, such as 3-month service, 3000-mile service, annual inspection, and so on. You can define your own services with your own terminology and choose the Cycle Type on which the service is based: Time, Meter or Meter and Time. Then, when you enter a piece of equipment into PMXpert, you can assign as many of these services as necessary to the equipment, including any procedures and details you require. If you have properly recorded the Meter of the asset, the asset’s services will be automatically scheduled at the correct time and pulled into the PM Schedule when due.

To learn how to use the PM Schedule, refer to Chapter 5: Generate a Schedule in the PMXpert Manual. Refer to What's New above to learn about new Help options.

Go to the Assets screen and edit one of the assets. In the Asset [Edit] window, click the Depreciation tab. Check the Use Depreciation checkbox, and new fields will appear below. Enter the Start Date, Start Value, End Date and End Value of the asset. The Current Value will automatically calculate below.

There are also two convenient Reports you can run if you track asset depreciation: Asset Value, which displays the current value of assets based on depreciation, and Asset Depreciation, which displays how much each asset has depreciated over a selected time range.

Asset Depreciation Tracking is one of the many enhancements added to PMXpert on a regular basis. Any time you want to see what is new in PMXpert, click on Help | What’s New in the program.
