Using the Key Documents View

Use the Key Documents view in Aquipa to find expired or expiring plant, operator, business, and equipment documents, filter by supplier or asset, save custom views, and export compliance reports.

The Key Documents view gives you one place to review key documents across your Aquipa account, making it easier to stay on top of upcoming expiries, expired documents, and document-driven compliance requirements.

Instead of opening individual plant, operators, businesses, or equipment records one at a time, you can use the Key Documents view to quickly find the documents that need your attention.

You can also create Custom Views to save filters you use regularly, making recurring compliance checks even faster.

Accessing Key Documents

Open Key Documents from the left-hand navigation menu.

Permission required: Access to the Key Documents view is permission guarded. You must have the Manage Key Documents permission to access and use this feature. If you cannot see Key Documents in the navigation menu, contact your Aquipa account administrator to check your permissions.

At the top of the page, you can switch between four document types:

  • Plant – key documents associated with plant and assets

  • Operators – key documents associated with operators

  • Businesses – key documents associated with businesses

  • Equipment – key documents associated with equipment

Each tab uses the same general layout but displays information relevant to that document type.

Reviewing your documents

The table provides an overview of the key documents in your account.

Depending on the document type and your account permissions, you can see information such as:

  • Document name

  • The plant, operator, business, or equipment the document belongs to

  • Supplier or business

  • Issue date

  • Expiry date

  • Other document information relevant to your account

For clients managing multiple suppliers, this makes it easier to identify which contractor or supplier is responsible for a document.

Choosing which columns to display

Use the Column Picker to choose the information you want displayed in your table.

This allows you to customise the table so the information most relevant to your compliance checks is visible at a glance.

Finding expired and expiring documents

Filters allow you to search across your account rather than reviewing one asset at a time.

For example, you can use filters to:

  • Find documents that have already expired

  • Find documents expiring within a selected number of weeks

  • Review documents associated with selected plant

  • Narrow your results to plant belonging to a particular supplier

  • Combine filters to investigate a specific group of documents

Example: Check documents expiring for a supplier

To identify upcoming expiries for a particular supplier:

  1. Open the Plant Key Documents tab.

  2. Open Filters.

  3. Open the Plant filter.

  4. Search for the supplier by typing their name.

  5. Select all plant associated with that supplier.

  6. Apply the selection.

  7. Add an expiry filter, such as Expiring in the next 4 weeks.

  8. Apply the filters.

The table will now show key documents for plant belonging to that supplier that are due to expire within the selected number of weeks.

You can also remove the plant filter and apply the expiry filter on its own to check upcoming expiries across all plant in your account.

Saving frequently used filters with Custom Views

If there is a group of filters you use regularly, you can save them as a Custom View.

Custom Views are useful for recurring checks such as:

  • Documents expiring in the next 4 weeks

  • Expired documents

  • Documents associated with a particular supplier

  • Documents associated with a group of plant

  • Compliance checks for a particular project or area of responsibility

After configuring the filters you need, save the view so you can return to the same filtered list without rebuilding it each time.

For example, you might create a view called Expiring in the next 4 weeks and use it as part of your regular compliance review.

Tip: Create Custom Views around the checks your team performs regularly. This can turn a multi-step compliance check into a saved view you can quickly revisit whenever needed.

Viewing files and document history

Use the three-dot menu on the right-hand side of a document to access additional options.

From here, you can:

  • View files associated with the key document

  • Open the Key Document History

The document history provides an audit trail showing how the document has changed over time, including updates and replacements.

This can be useful when investigating previous versions of a document or reviewing its compliance history.

Exporting your Key Documents report

You can export the report currently displayed in the table to a CSV file.

Apply the filters you need first, then select Export.

The CSV will contain the results from your current view, making it easy to share, review, or work with the report outside Aquipa.

For example, you could filter for all documents expiring within the next 4 weeks and export that filtered report for your team or suppliers.

Common ways to use the Key Documents view

The Key Documents view can help with a range of regular compliance activities, including:

  • Performing weekly or monthly expiry checks

  • Identifying documents that require renewal

  • Following up suppliers with upcoming expiries

  • Reviewing expired documents across your account

  • Investigating document history

  • Preparing compliance reports

  • Monitoring documents across multiple assets or suppliers at once

By combining filters, Custom Views, and CSV exports, you can build simple recurring processes around the document information that matters most to your team.
