Maintenance Overview

Schedule, track, and manage recurring maintenance tasks for all your dental equipment from the Maintenance page.

Keep your equipment running with scheduled maintenance

The Maintenance module is your central hub for scheduling and tracking recurring maintenance across every piece of equipment in your practice. From daily autoclave cycles to annual compressor inspections, ChairPulse ensures nothing falls through the cracks by giving your team a clear picture of what is due, what is overdue, and what has been completed.

Navigate to Maintenance from the main sidebar to open this page.

Page layout

The Maintenance page is organized into three top-level tabs:

TabIconDescription
Active SchedulesCalendarAll recurring maintenance schedules with calendar and room views
Recent ActivityHistoryA log of completed and excused tasks over a selectable time period
Missed TasksX-CircleTasks that were not completed by their due date, with options to excuse or add a reason

The page header includes three action buttons:

  • Reassign -- Opens the bulk reassign dialog to change task assignments across multiple schedules at once.
  • Templates -- Opens the Task Template Library to quickly add pre-built maintenance tasks.
  • Add Maintenance Task -- Opens the schedule creation dialog where you choose equipment, set frequency, assign a team member, and optionally link an SOP.

To complete daily tasks, head to the Dashboard. The Maintenance page is for viewing and editing your schedules, not for day-to-day task completion.

Viewing your schedules

The Active Schedules tab offers five view modes, accessible from the segmented control in the card header:

ViewIconDescription
RoomsGridGroups schedules by room and room category. Default view.
ListListA sortable, filterable table of all schedules
DayCalendar DayShows all tasks due on a single selected day
WeekCalendar RangeDisplays a 7-day grid with task cards for each day
MonthCalendarA full monthly calendar with task dots and previews

Your selected view mode is remembered across sessions.

Task statuses

Each maintenance task has a status based on its next due date:

StatusColorMeaning

Due todayAmberThe task is due today
Due soonAmberThe task is due within the next 7 days
On trackGreenThe task is not due for more than 7 days
No historyGrayNo due date or completion history exists for this schedule

Frequency options

When creating or editing a maintenance schedule, you can choose from these frequency options:

FrequencyRecurrence
One-timeOccurs once and does not repeat
DailyRepeats every day (with specific weekday selection)
WeeklyRepeats every week on a chosen day
Bi-weeklyRepeats every two weeks on a chosen day
MonthlyRepeats monthly (day set by first due date)
QuarterlyRepeats every 3 months
Semi-annuallyRepeats every 6 months
AnnuallyRepeats every 12 months
CustomRepeats every N days (you specify the interval, 1--365)

For monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual frequencies, the recurrence day is automatically set by your first due date. For example, if the first due date is March 15 with a monthly frequency, the task will recur on the 15th of each month.

Filtering schedules

The filter bar changes depending on the active view:

  • Room view shows frequency pill filters (All, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Other).
