Selecting a component from the maintenance tree or from the component table opens it in its own view. Everything Nauticare knows about that piece of machinery sits behind a row of tabs.
If an open Permit to Work covers the component and you have permission to view permits to work, a yellow notice appears at the top of the page naming the permit, its status and work types, with an Open permit link. While that permit remains open, the component cannot be deleted.
Which tabs you see depends on your permissions:
- General Details and Manuals need permission to view maintenance.
- PMS and Tasks additionally need permission to view maintenance tasks.
- Inventory appears only when the Inventory module is active and you may view inventory.
When a component is archived, it carries an Archived chip and all of its tabs are read-only — you can browse its details, manuals, schedules, tasks and linked inventory, but cannot add or edit anything until the component is restored.
General Details
The component's photo, name, any Archived or Critical chip and its tags, followed by its recorded properties: Hours, Manufacturer, Serial No., Part No./Model, Power, Manufacturing Year and Location, then its description.
Below that is a timeline of changes to the component record (creation, edits, archiving and restoring), and — for components that own their hours — the paginated Hours history.
The Component actions menu on this tab offers actions depending on your permissions and whether the component is archived:
- Edit opens the component form (active components only).
- Duplicate copies the component (active components only). The copy dialog lets you name it and choose whether to link all its manuals to the new component, copy all its task schedules, and link all its inventory items. Tasks are never copied.
- Archive moves an active component out of the machinery register and stops its schedules from raising new tasks, while keeping its history intact. If other active components draw their running hours from this one, Nauticare asks you to reassign their hours first.
- Restore returns an archived component to the active register (unless it links its hours from another component that is still archived, in which case that source component must be restored first).
- Delete is offered only with maintenance delete permission, and stays disabled with a tooltip (Has maintenance history — archive it instead.) while the component has any tasks (including archived ones) or task schedules. An open permit to work, manuals still attached, or other components drawing their hours from this one also block deletion — those are reported when you confirm.
Manuals
The files attached to this component, with Add Manual to upload more. Each row can be viewed or downloaded, edited, linked to further components, and — where the manual is attached to more than one component — unlinked from this one rather than deleted outright. This tab is also where AI task generation from a manual is started; see the Manuals article.
PMS
The component's task schedules — the recurring rules that generate its planned maintenance. Add Schedule creates one; see the Task Schedules article for how to fill it in and read the table. When a manual has been analysed by AI, its suggested schedules are reviewed here too.
Tasks
Every maintenance task for this component, split into Current and History tabs with counts. Add One-time Task creates unscheduled work or records a defect against the component — a task with no schedule behind it, which will never recur; see Working on a Maintenance Task for the form. The table shows each task's Task Name, Type, Priority, Status, Due Date, Assignee, Ranks and Department, with the same Columns control as the maintenance task lists for hiding the ones you do not need. A Filter dropdown offers a task-name search and checkboxes for Planned (raised from a schedule) and One-time, and the History tab offers an Export button to produce a PDF report of completed tasks for this component.
Inventory
The inventory items linked to this component — Name (with a Critical chip where flagged), Qty., Manufacturer, Part Number/Model, Internal part number, Location, Min/Max, Exp. date and Supplier, with a search box and a Columns control (Min/Max, Exp. date and Supplier start hidden) — so the spares for a job are visible from the machinery itself.
