Inspection Points |
Preventive maintenance (PM) service schedules for linear assets are defined by inspection points. The Inspection Points tab enables you to view and record the to and from marker and segment IDs for which PM and inspections will be performed. You can define separate inspection points that break where the track type changes, and you can assign a different set of PM services to each section. You can also separate linear-asset sections by maintenance territory so that you can schedule and track the inspection and work order history by assigned territory. When a PM service is added to a linear work order, the inspections points are added to the work order automatically. This occurs in post processing, however, so you must save the work order first.
When a PM order is entered, this tab's fields auto-populate based on the inspection points defined for the asset's PM service. The display contains a sequence of ranges that needs to be inspected.
Tip: To limit the display of information in the grid and maximize performance, use the filter. The list of searchable fields on the filter is extensive; use the scroll bar to view them all. You can sort on work order information, from/to open date, equipment ID, repair reason, segment ID, to/from marker ID, and to/from offset, among other values. If you specify a range, any record that crosses any part of that range will be displayed. You can also use the sort button to arrange the order in which work order IDs are listed. If you do not specify a sort sequence, IDs are listed in descending order by the Date and time in service field (specified on the Basic Info tab).
To streamline data entry, you can copy work orders using the Copy button. For a list of the data items that are copied and not copied, see Work order data items copied. Remember that behind-the-scenes functionality specified on the Linear Work Order screen also applies to linear work order actions performed through the Shop Activity Portals in Web Modules.
The Linear Work Order screen supports location level access control, so you must belong to a user group with the applicable authorization to make changes or updates. In addition, the option specified in the Require match between work order location and equipment access rights location field on the Options tab of the Data -> Shop Activity -> Setup -> Options screen indicates whether users can open work orders on this screen.
You can use the % wildcard character to filter the results of choice lists on this screen.
