A Maintenance Contract is where you keep track of the Assets, tests and jobs for a contract on a site. You can have one Contract with several asset types and tests, for example, monthly and quarterly tests for Outdoor Units and Indoor units. Contracts have a start and end date and can be renews at the end of the contract

Add the Assets and Service tests
Assets and tests are added to the contract in groups usually defined by asset type. An asset group is a list of assets and the tests to be completed for these assets, for example I might have two types of assets with different service tests, say Indoor units and Outdoor units. so I setup two asset groups one for Indoor units and one for Outdoor units, then I assign the different test to be completed for these asset groups.
