Choose or create a machine's category

Every machine has a category (tractor, excavator, mower…). It helps you find it and compare similar machines. You pick it from a list, or you create one.

  1. Step 1 : Open the machine form

    For a new machine, click “Add a machine” in “Machines”. For an existing machine, tap the cog-shaped icon on its card (see edit a machine).

  2. Step 2 : Choose from the list

    Open the “Category” list: it offers common categories for worksites and fleets (chainsaw, mower, mini excavator, tractor, trailer, generator, compressor…), plus the ones you have already used.

  3. Step 3 : Create one if it is missing

    Choose “Other…” at the very bottom of the list, then type the category name in the field that appears. The name is turned into capital letters automatically.

  4. Step 4 : Save

    Confirm the form. The category is created with the machine and will be offered next time, even without a network on this device.

Good to know

  • Always write the name the same way: two different spellings make two different categories.
  • If you choose “Other…” without writing a name, KALEA asks you to enter the category name before saving.
  • To change a machine's category, pick another one in the list then click “Save changes”. The app has no screen to rename or delete an existing category.
  • The category shows on the machine's card, is taken into account by search (see find a machine) and acts as a filter in the statistics.
