How do main objects and sub-objects work in Maintmaster Intelligence (MI)?
Learn how main objects and sub-objects are selected in MI, what limitations apply to the free version, and how to change your main object.
How do main objects work in MI?
MI requires a main object to be configured before onboarding can be completed. The main object determines which part of your system MI can analyze.
- A main object must exist in your system before it can be selected in MI. Here you can read How to add a Main site object.
- You can select an entire company as the main object if it is configured as a main object in the system.
- In the free version, MI automatically selects 20 sub-objects at random.
- You may see data from objects outside the selected main object, but MI can only analyze the 20 included sub-objects.
Can I select my own sub-objects?
In the free version of MI, you cannot manually select which sub-objects to analyze.
The 20 sub-objects are selected automatically. You can view which objects are included in the MI portal.
If you need to select multiple objects manually, a different MI version is required. Contact Maintmaster Sales to discuss the available options.
How can I change my main object?
In the free version of MI, you can change your main object once per year through the MI portal.
If you need to change it more frequently, contact Maintmaster Support for assistance.
Make sure you select the correct main object before saving your settings, as changes are limited.
Troubleshooting
Onboarding cannot be completed
MI requires a configured main object to complete onboarding.
Solution: Make sure at least one main object is configured in your system before continuing.
The wrong objects are selected
The free version automatically selects 20 sub-objects, which cannot be changed manually.
Solution: Check the selected objects in the MI portal. If the main object is incorrect, update it or contact Maintmaster Support.
I cannot manage user permissions
In the free version of MI you don´t have the role management which means you can´t see the other users.
Can I see who changed the main object?
No. MI does not currently store a history of who selected or changed the main object.
