Operator
Operator accounts are for people who use plant and vehicles in their day-to-day work. Operators complete Daily Driver pre-starts before using assets, record plant hours, report faults, and can book pool vehicles.
Homepage
The Operator homepage is the Works Management Operator Menu. From here you can see the assets relevant to you, act on those assets, and navigate to the other tools you use.

Viewing and Filtering Assets
Use the filter buttons at the top of the asset list to control which assets are shown:
- Favourites — only assets you have added to your favourites
- Allocated/Responsible — assets allocated to you or for which you are the responsible person
- All — all assets in the organisation
Icons in the asset column indicate the status of each asset at a glance:
| Icon | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Items Overdue | One or more aspects of the asset are overdue |
| Asset Tagged Out | The asset has an active Safety Tag against it |
| Daily Driver Required | The asset requires a Daily Driver pre-start before use |
| Scheduled Service | An upcoming service has been scheduled |
| Unscheduled Service Due | A service is due for generation but has not been scheduled |
On narrow screens, select the + icon next to an asset to expand hidden columns.
