How to log maintenance on DairyLogs

Log farm maintenance in DairyLogs with date, type, location, cost, and supplies used, then verify on maintenance records.

Maintenance tracks cleaning, repairs, inspections, and servicing. Start from the overview or Add record form, attach supplies used, then confirm the history under Maintenance → Records.

Steps

Open Maintenance: Click Maintenance in the sidebar (/dashboard/maintenance) to see stock value, low stock, 30-day usage, and recent logs.
Add a record: Open Add record (/dashboard/maintenance/add). Enter date, type, title, location, performed by, cost, notes, and any supplies used from maintenance stock.
Verify history: Save, then open Maintenance → Records to confirm the cleaning/repair/inspection row with supplies, person, and cost.

Tips

Link supplies on the form so fuel/chemical stock decreases instead of drifting.
Use consistent types (cleaning, repair, inspection, service) for later filtering.
