Documents in Operations1 can be, for example, work instructions, maintenance checklists, safety instructions, packaging instructions, maintenance instructions, run cards or inspection records. With Operations1, all these classic types of industrial documentation can be easily mapped. So the hours spent in Word, Excel and PowerPoint and the piles of paper produced are a thing of the past.


Create new documents

To create a new document, click the new document button under documents. A window opens for entering the metadata.

Required fields: title and language

Enter the name of the document in the title. The title should be concise, precise and meaningful. It can be freely searched later.

Select the language of the document. By default, the language you are currently logged in with is set. The selection serves as the initial language for document creation. You can add more languages later at any time.

For the classification you can choose between none, public, internal, confidential and strictly confidential. This classification is for clarity and is currently not linked to an authorization structure.

With the field valid until you can enter on which day a document loses its validity. This is only an information field to delimit documents in time. Documents are not locked after the end of the validity period. In the document overview, you can add validity by showing additional columns. This allows you to filter for documents that need revision, for example.

If you have stored tags in Operations1, you can link them to the document. To do this, simply select one or more tags.

The fields create report automatically and make visible to others are selected initially. If you do not want the report to be created automatically or if you do not want the document to be visible to others, uncheck the respective boxes.

You can use the notes to enter more information about the document, if necessary, to describe the document in more detail.

QR codes

Using the add QR-Code button, you can select existing QR-codes via the search or create a new QR-code by selecting the create new checkmark. Enter a string and klick add.

By scanning the QR-code, the document will open automatically later.
