The time machine is a very useful utility if you want to scan the history of work related to an apartment, any particular asset, non-asset or any contractor. For each item, the time machine enables you to view all work that has been done on or done by that entity at your site. Essentially, it provides you a list of all cases or maintenance events attached to the item you are looking for.1.1.1 Introduction – When should I use the time machine?
