This article will teach you how to add an equipment area to your property. Equipment areas are those areas that contain building equipment and will be monitored via the Preventive Maintenance feature of the Property & Facility App.
Note: Equipment spaces must be added first only when manually adding PM equipment. Do not create equipment spaces if your PMs are being uploaded, as the importer automatically creates new equipment spaces as part of the upload process.
- From the Property & Facility menu, click Properties.
- From the Properties page, click the applicable name of the property.
- From the [Property Name] page, click the Spaces tab, and then click the Add Space button.
- Once the Add New Space window has opened, complete the form presented:

| Floor | Enter the floor that the new equipment area is located on. |
