# Maintenance

> Service history and upcoming work per asset

Assets that need servicing carry a **Maintenance** tab (see
[Asset details](/assets/asset-details#tabs)): a history of completed
work with costs, and scheduled upcoming work, including work that
repeats on its own.

## Recording maintenance

Add a record with a date, cost (with its own currency), notes and
attachments. You can also assign it to specific people and optionally
**lock the task to only those people**, so it can't be picked up or
completed by anyone else. A checklist lets you break the work into
steps that get ticked off as they're done.

## Recurring maintenance

A maintenance record can repeat on a schedule: daily, weekly, monthly or
yearly. Set it once (say, quarterly generator servicing) and a new
scheduled record is created automatically each time it's due, instead of
someone having to remember to add it.

## Maintenance fields per category

Categories define which extra fields maintenance records carry (see
[Categories and fields](/setup/categories-and-fields)), so a vehicle's
service record and a laptop's warranty repair can ask for different
details.

## Copying to other assets

**Copy to other assets** applies the same maintenance record across many
assets at once, useful when a whole batch was serviced on the same day.
See [Asset details](/assets/asset-details#tabs).

## Policies over maintenance

Use [policies](/operate/policies) to flag assets with overdue or missing
maintenance automatically, rather than checking manually.
