A batch file is an aggregation of billable work orders and/or preventive maintenance tasks over a pre-determined time frame. Note: If you require a customized batch file, contact Building Engines Support (support@buildingengines.com) for more information. Customized batch files are not part of the core Building Engines product.
This article describes the process of creating a new batch file.
