Further flexibility has been added to the maintenance types in SIMPLer. The maintenance ticket types are available under Maintenance -> Ticket Types (Fig. 1).

Some of the types available in the system are DEFAULT types and so cannot be deleted. You will have the following options available on this page:

1. Add a New Type. (Fig. 2 - RED Box)

2. Add / Remove subtypes associated to TYPES. (Fig. 2 - GREEN Box)

3. Delete a Non-Default Type. (Fig. 2 - BLUE Box)

4. Move a default type from ACTIVE to HIDDEN to de-activate them and hide from view for your users. (Fig. 2 - PURPLE Box)
