Add Forms to a PIN

  • Click [Add] button beside the Forms’ section (on the ‘Create PIN’ screen) to associate a maintenance / inspection template with the PIN.

A schedule for a template is selected when a template is uploaded in ARC Facilities. But user can change the schedule from this section. User can select the start date from which form will be generated from the template and the recurring period (none, daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, half yearly or yearly) of the form to be generated by the user. On each recurring date after the scheduling period a notification is send to the user stating that user needs to fill up the template and generate a form.


Note: The schedule specified here should affect only this instance of the report. For instance, if user uploads an inspection template and then links the same template to several PINs, he should be able to specify a different inspection interval for each use (pinned location) of the form (created using this template).


  • After selecting the template, user will click the [Done] button (on the scheduling pop-up) to associate the template with the PIN.
