# Create a maintenance plan for your enterprise assets

Create a maintenance plan to manage and schedule routine maintenance for your enterprise assets, linear assets, and linear segments. You can run maintenance on-demand or based on a set of specific criteria.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_eam.enterprise\_asset\_manager

## Procedure

1.  From the Enterprise Asset Workspace, open the Work management view.

2.  On the **Maintenance plans** tab, select **New**.

3.  Select **Maintenance plan** from the **Plan type** list.

4.  Select a table from the **Asset table** list.

    The Enterprise asset table is selected by default.

5.  Select **Create**.

6.  On the Create New Maintenance Plan page, fill in the details.

    For a detailed description of all the maintenance plan fields, see [Maintenance plan fields for Enterprise Asset Management](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-asset-management/enterprise-asset-management/maintenance-plan-fields-eam.md).

7.  Select **Save**.

    The page closes and you’re automatically redirected to the new maintenance plan record.

    You can further configure your maintenance plan by creating [maintenance schedules](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-asset-management/enterprise-asset-management/create-eam-maintenance-schedule.md), work orders, and work order tasks. You can view all your maintenance plan records in the list view in the **Maintenance plans** tab. Every maintenance plan record is prefixed with **MP**.
