Most collaboration features are shared across the Business Profile, including Activities, Equipment records, and shared folders in Helios Drive. Personal Bookmarks collections and private Helios Drive folders are only visible to the user who created them. Should we use Helios Drive or Catalogs+ for technical documentation? Use Catalogs+ to discover and reference vendor catalogs, tooling information, and technical literature from manufacturers and suppliers. When you need to collaborate with your team, you can save catalogs to Helios Drive alongside your company-owned documents, such as SOPs, work instructions, quality records, manuals, and compliance documentation. Can multiple team members work in the same areas at the same time? Yes. Helios is built for collaborative use. Team members can work within shared Activities, Equipment records, Drive folders, and Catalogs+ resources at the same time. Do we need to use every collaboration feature? No. Many teams start with one or two tools and expand over time. A maintenance team might begin with Equipment and Activities, while engineering teams often add Catalogs+ and Helios Drive to centralize technical references and documentation. 🔧 Troubleshooting Our team is struggling to find information quickly. Organize important references into Bookmarks collections and store finalized documents in clearly structured Helios Drive folders. Consistent naming conventions make content easier to search and retrieve across the team. Team members are not following the same process. Establish internal guidelines for where information should be stored and how work should be tracked. Consistent usage across your organization improves collaboration and reduces confusion. Our maintenance history is difficult to follow. Link maintenance and inspection activities to Equipment records whenever possible. This builds a clearer operational history for each asset over time. 💡 Tips ⭐ Start with Equipment and Activities if your goal is to improve maintenance tracking and operational accountability. These two features provide the fastest path to visibility across your team. ⭐ Store finalized SOPs, manuals, quality documents, and compliance records in Helios Drive so everyone works from the same source of truth. ⭐ Save frequently referenced catalog pages to Bookmarks instead of searching for them repeatedly. Organize collections by machine, project, supplier, or work cell. ⭐ Create consistent naming conventions for folders, equipment records, and projects. A little structure early on makes collaboration significantly easier as your workspace grows. ⭐ The most effective workflows connect all five tools: Catalogs+ provides technical references, Bookmarks organizes frequently used information, Helios Drive stores documentation, Equipment tracks assets, and Activities manages the work.
