# Setting Up Equipment and Logging Issues

Temperature logs are only worth keeping if somebody knows what to do when a number is wrong. Equipment setup is where you put the safe range and the corrective action in the same place as the check itself.

## List your equipment

Go to **Checklists > Equipment > Equipment**. Every fridge, freezer, oven, and machine your team checks lives here with the range it should hold.

Press **Add Equipment** to add one. The **Target (°F)** column is the range a reading has to fall inside; equipment that has no range to hold, like an espresso machine you check for cleanliness rather than temperature, simply has none.

## What each piece of equipment carries

Expand a row and you can set:

- **Target range**, the low and high your reading must sit between.
- **Instructions**, what the person checking should actually do.
- **Check point name**, so a walk-in with two probes records two clearly labelled readings.
- **Corrective action label**, what to do when the reading is out of range.

> \[!IMPORTANT]
> The corrective action is the part people skip and the part that matters. "Move product to the walk-in and call maintenance" turns an out-of-range reading into a fixed problem rather than a logged one.

## Track what is broken

**Checklists > Equipment > Equipment Issues** is the maintenance log. When something is out of range, making a noise, or waiting on a part, it gets reported and tracked here rather than on a sticky note by the till.

Open issues also surface on the **Equipment Health** card on your Operations Dashboard, so a repair nobody chased does not stay invisible.

## What you should see

Every piece of equipment your team checks, each with an honest range and a corrective action written in plain language, and an issues list that gets shorter rather than longer.
