Types of selections in Maintmaster
There are two main types of selections in Maintmaster:
- Built-in selections – Available by default in every system and show all entities without filtering. They cannot be modified or saved, and are mainly used as a base for creating new selections.
- Customizable selections – These can be modified and saved (by administrators). They include both preconfigured selections (created during implementation) and custom selections created by users later on.
Common elements in selections
All selections in Maintmaster share a few common elements:
- A title is always displayed
- A description may be included
- A Create button is available, based on the entity type (e.g. Create asset)
The Create button allows you to:
- Choose the type or category of item to create
- Open the item card
- Create and save the new item
After saving, you can return to the selection view.
Below the header, you will also find a counter:
- Shows the total number of items in the selection (e.g. 40 items)
- Updates dynamically when rows are selected
Example
1. Selecting multiple rows will update the counter (e.g. “3 items selected”)2. The total number of items is still displayed alongside
3. If bulk actions are available, a context menu will appear when items are selected.
Filter selections
You can filter the selections in different ways by all of the different columns by the Filter button.
