The "Add the machine" button is greyed out: what to do

When you add a machine, KALEA only saves it if it has a maintenance plan and a photo. While one of the two is missing, the button stays greyed out and a sentence under the form tells you which one.

  1. Step 1 : Read the sentence under the form

    Scroll to the bottom of the “Add a machine” window. A sentence starting with “To save, you still need” names what is missing: the maintenance plan, the machine's photo, or both.

  2. Step 2 : Add the maintenance plan

    Upload the manufacturer's manual in “Manufacturer's service manual”, or type at least one task in “Maintenance tasks” (for example: oil change, greasing, filter check). The button un-greys as soon as the box contains a task.

  3. Step 3 : Add the photo

    In “Equipment photo”, tap “Choose a photo” to pick a file, or “Take a photo” to use the camera.

  4. Step 4 : Save

    When the sentence has disappeared, click “Add the machine”. If a red message appears, fix the field it points to and try again.

Good to know

  • If you uploaded a manual, the flow changes: KALEA first shows the “Plan suggested by our algorithm” screen, then the “Last step” screen, where the “Save the machine” button stays greyed out until there is a photo. See understand the suggested plan.
  • If you upload a PDF and have not chosen a photo, the first page of the manual is used as the machine's photo.
  • Possible messages when saving: the current reading must be entered (0 if the machine is new); with “Already done”, the reading at the last service must be entered and cannot exceed the current reading; with “Other…” in the category list, the category name must be written.
  • The meter reading is no longer required if you choose the “Calendar-based” mode yourself.
