Download GE service documents associated with equipment

Learn how to download GE service documents in the Activity view.

When GE services or repairs your equipment, it creates service documents such as Planned Maintenance (PM) Checklists, Service Debriefs, and Service Request (SR) Reports in its eDigi tool. iCenter can be configured to access these service documents, so you can download them in the Activity view.[ regional availability] This configuration is based on a supported data source/country pair and one or more document types.

These service documents are associated with specific SRs and tasks in the Details panel of Service Request and Task views. You can download the document in the formats stored in the eDigi tool, for example, documents, spreadsheets, and images.
