Maintenance Calendar

This video provides a practical guide on how to configure and manage a Maintenance Calendar in Odoo 18, which is essential for organizing repair and upkeep tasks within your company.

• Understanding Maintenance Calendar: The video explains that a maintenance calendar is a scheduling tool used for planning and tracking equipment maintenance and repair requests, facilitating efficient task organisation.
• Accessing the Calendar: To view the maintenance calendar, navigate to the Maintenance module and select Maintenance > Maintenance Calendar.
