Quick start: facility owner
This page is for building, facility or business owners using kommuns for the first time. By the end, part of your inventory will be recorded, an employee invited and your first work order opened. Each step links to the details.
1. Create your account
Sign up with your e-mail address or Google account from kommuns.com. → Signing up and signing in
2. Create your organization
In the Lobby click Create Organization, choose Inventory Owner and enter your company details and logo. → Creating an organization
3. Add your first location
Locations › New: name, purpose of use, building details, address and map position. Add a photo too. → Locations
4. Add a system and some equipment
Open the location, add e.g. HVAC — Central Plant with Create System, then Chiller CH-1 from the system's Equipment tab. Brand, model and serial number pay off later. → Systems, Equipment
5. Invite an employee
Invite your technician with Assignees › Employee Invitation. Once they accept, give them a location permission from the location's Assignees tab; otherwise they cannot see the inventory. → Inviting employees
6. Prepare a form
Build your maintenance checklist with Forms › Create Form and click Publish the Form. → Creating forms
7. Open your first work order
On the equipment's Work Orders tab click New: title, priority, target date, form and your technician as the assignee. The technician sees it on their Home page, fills in the form and completes it; you follow the progress live — in the list or in the calendar. → Creating work orders
