We are happy to announce the launch of our documentation site, coinciding with the latest update to Building Book's maintenance management system. Over the past few years, Building Book has significantly expanded its scope, introducing numerous features designed to enhance user experience and operational efficiency. As our platform grows, so does the complexity of its functionalities, making it increasingly challenging to deliver training solely through short video tutorials and limited training sessions.

Why We Created This Documentation​

To address these challenges and better support our users, we are introducing this interactive documentation site. Our goal is to provide a centralised, easily accessible resource that covers all aspects of Building Book's features and workflows. This initiative aims to:

  • Enhance Understanding: Offer detailed explanations of workflows and functionalities to help users navigate and utilise the system effectively.
  • Ensure Consistency: Maintain up-to-date information that reflects the latest developments and feature additions, ensuring all users have access to current best practices.
  • Facilitate Self-Paced Learning: Allow users to learn at their own pace, accessing information as needed without the constraints of scheduled training sessions.

What to Expect from the Documentation Site​

We are committed to making this documentation site a valuable tool for all our users. Here's what you can expect:

Comprehensive Guides​

Starting with our Maintenance Operative Application, you'll find in-depth guides that walk you through every feature and function. These guides include step-by-step instructions, best practices, and troubleshooting tips to help you make the most of the system.

Interactive Elements​

To enhance the learning experience, the documentation will introduce interactive elements such as:

  • Search Functionality: Quickly find the information you need without scrolling through extensive content.
  • Visual Aids: Screenshots and diagrams that illustrate key concepts and workflows.
  • Downloadable Resources: Access templates, checklists, and other resources to support your daily operations.

Building Book is continually evolving, and so is our documentation. We pledge to keep this site updated with the latest features, improvements, to ensure it remains a reliable resource for your needs.
