A model is a type of one specific non-fixed asset inventory item associated with a property, such as a specific refrigerator, range, dishwasher, or washer & dryer. Common uses for adding models into the platform are:
- To create preventative maintenance schedules that automatically apply to each item that has the same model type.
- To quickly view all locations and units that have the specific model in inventory. This is especially helpful when dealing with manufacturer recalls.
- To associate parts lists to a model which expedites Work Orders associated with an item of that same model.
- To store files such as owner’s manuals or repair guides specific to the model.

Model Overview
Select a model from the list to view the model details overview tab which displays the maintenance schedule, locations where the model is installed, details, and activity history:
Details
The name field can be used for either the name of the model or the model number, and is typically used to quickly identify a specific model. Other details such as expected life, criticality level, and minimum stock threshold can also be seen here.
Criticality Level
Criticality level can be used in a variety of ways. This is a great category label to use for sorting, to help with developing maintenance SOPs, for legal protocols, and especially for work order urgency. When a model is marked as either Critical or High, any work orders (Tasks) within Happy Property associated with the model will automatically be marked as urgent and top priority for Technicians:
Minimum Stock Threshold
This field is a precursor to stock controls that may be built into the system at a future time. Today, this field does not trigger any additional functionality in the system, but is strictly informational at this time.
