If you have fiddle around at at least access any maintenance or facility management software, you will notice that it takes a while for you to familiarize yourself before you get the hang of it. Let us say that you never done facility management job before and suddenly, your management suddenly decided to relocate you to a maintenance division and you are required to handle the management of it. You are then given a set of software to run and do your work and you are just given a short training before you get comfortable with it. What do you do? Here’s some tip to overcome this problem:
Tip Number 1
When you get to your office, before you do anything, stare at the main dashboard for at least 5 minutes. This is for you to digest what button and features the software has. If that went well, don’t be afraid to click around. Just don’t click on the ‘delete’ though.
Tip Number 2
Be familiar with the jargons of the software. If you don’t understand any of the terms, go to help and look up on the glossary. Don’t spend too much time on the help because it will eat up a lot of time, only refer to help as a reference point and not your tutorial. If you have no idea on what you are dealing with, you can always go online, search on Google or Wikipedia for some explanation.
Tip Number 3
Search for tips and tricks or do some small experiment using the software to find shortcuts so that you can save up time. The purpose of having software is to save time, it is almost the same as having a calculator, you save time by not having to struggle counting using your head.
Bottomline, if you focus, spend time and do your work properly, you’ll get the hang of these maintenance management softwares.
