Help Guide
How to use FixLog from first asset to finished maintenance record.
This guide uses a brewery scenario, but the same flow works for shops, restaurants, gyms, rental properties, facilities, farms, fleets, and tool rooms.
Example Scenario
Mountain Peak Brewing wants to track its glycol chiller, boiler, canning line, CO2 manifold, taproom glasswasher, and other equipment. The owner wants to know what is overdue, what needs attention today, and what was done last time.
1
Create or scan an asset
Add an asset such as Glycol Chiller. Fill in the asset ID, category, location, vendor, warranty notes, photo, and any custom fields.
2
Organize it
Set the location to Brew House and add groups such as Expensive Assets, Safety Critical, and Warranty Watch.
3
Add reminders
Create reminders for monthly cooling system preventive maintenance, weekly sanitation checks, or safety inspections.
4
Use templates
Pick a maintenance template when recording repeat work. Templates can include guidance and checklist steps so records stay consistent.
5
Record the work
When the reminder is due, open it, complete the checklist, add notes, parts, labor time, cost, and photos if needed.
6
Keep the record useful
Review history before calling a vendor, export reports for documentation, and back up your data regularly.

Frequently asked questions.
Quick answers for common setup, data, and support questions.
Does FixLog require an account?
No. The core FixLog workflow is designed for local use without requiring an account.
Where should I start?
Add a few important assets first, then create reminders for the maintenance work you already repeat.
Can I keep copies of my records?
Yes. Use export and backup tools to keep copies of your asset and maintenance data outside the app.
Can I attach manuals or paperwork?
FixLog supports photos and documents for records such as manuals, invoices, inspection forms, and warranties.
