The Report Malfunction app allows the maintenance technician to perform the following steps when
reporting a malfunction of a technical object:
Display the current location of the technical object. The app shows the geographical location of the
technical object on a map, if the Geographical Enablement Framework is activated. This helps the
technician to locate the technical object and plan the travel route1
Add a URL to provide further information. The app allows the technician to attach a URL to the
malfunction report, such as a link to a video or a website that shows the problem or the
solution. This helps the technician to provide additional information and documentation for the
malfunction1
View details of the technical object by navigating to the Asset Viewer. The app allows the technician
to access the Asset Viewer app from the malfunction report, where they can view the technical
object details, such as the structure, documents, history, and measurements. This helps the
technician to gather information about the technical object and its condition1
The Report Malfunction app does not allow the maintenance technician to perform the following
steps when reporting a malfunction of a technical object:
Select and print the maintenance order shop papers. The app does not provide the option to select

Orders”, to enter the planned costs for the maintenance order2
