MaintScape CMMS

The Today's Status window shows you the most important MaintScape summary statistics by category. For example, work order statistics may include: work orders coming due, slightly overdue work orders, very overdue work orders, and number of work orders closed in the last month. The list of statistics is completely configurable. You can double-click to drill down from any summary statistic to the actual list of items (e.g. work orders).
