What is a Task Activity Type?

Activity types categorise maintenance tasks based on their purpose and approach, guiding the management of assets and resources effectively. The four maintenance types are as follows:

1. Corrective Maintenance: Reactive repairs to restore functionality after a failure or malfunction.
2. Inspection: Proactive assessments to identify potential issues or deterioration.
3. Modification: Changes or upgrades to improve performance or functionality.
4. Preventative Maintenance: Scheduled servicing to prevent failures and prolong asset lifespan.

1. Go to your Avatar and select the 'Configuration Panel' option
2. Go to the 'Maintenance' module
