The Scenario
Three new technicians are starting next Monday. Before you hand them access to MaintainX, someone from the onboarding team flagged that the location hierarchy might not be set up correctly — buildings are there, but floors and rooms might be mapped to the wrong parents, especially in Building 4 where two teams merged last year. You need to verify the whole structure across all six buildings before anyone logs in and starts filing work orders against the wrong site.
The bad version:
- Open MaintainX locations, expand the hierarchy tree one building at a time, and compare it to the site map document in a separate window.
- Export a CSV, open it in Excel, and discover it only gives a flat list with no parent column — so you have no way to verify parent-child relationships from the file alone.
- Go back to the MaintainX UI, manually match each location to its parent in the UI tree, and write the relationships into Excel by hand.
An audit that should take 45 minutes is turning into a full afternoon. The technicians start Monday regardless.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your Excel workbook. It reads the workbook, connects to MaintainX through its built-in integration, and pulls your full location list — with parent location names — in one shot.
Export the full MaintainX location hierarchy into Excel — one row per location with name, parent location name, address, and creation date so I can audit the site structure
What You Get
- Column A: location name
- Column B: parent location name (resolved from the parent ID)
- Column C: address if stored in MaintainX
- Column D: creation date
- Every location in your account, one row each — ready to filter and compare
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
You want to flag every location with no parent assigned
Export all MaintainX locations into columns A through D with name, parent location name, address, and creation date — then write MISSING PARENT in column E for any row where the parent field is blank
You only want to see the sub-hierarchy under one specific building
List all MaintainX locations that belong to or are children of 'Building 4' and write location name, parent location name, and ID into columns A through C of this worksheet
You need to count how many child locations each building has
Export all MaintainX locations into columns A through D with name, parent location, address, and ID — then add a count in column E showing how many other locations share the same parent so I can see which buildings are over- or under-segmented
Full onboarding readiness check in one shot: pull, flag, sort, annotate
Export all MaintainX locations into columns A through D with name, parent location name, address, and creation date — flag MISSING PARENT in column E where the parent is blank, sort by parent location name so all rooms in the same building group together, and add REVIEW in column F for any location created before 2023-01-01 that still has no address
One prompt gives you a structured, annotated location audit ready to walk through before Monday's onboarding.
Try It
Get the 7-day free trial of SheetXAI and open a blank Excel workbook. Ask it to pull your full MaintainX location hierarchy and flag any locations with no parent. Then check the spoke on exporting your asset registry to verify that assets are tied to the correct locations.
