Scheduled Jobs |
The Scheduled Jobs tab enables you to enter jobs that are outside the class PM cycle. Jobs can be scheduled based on either a time interval (e.g., Recurring, One Time, or Completed) or meter or fuel usage. Scheduled repair jobs for an equipment unit can be by task ID or standard job ID. You can schedule a one-time service or schedule inspections at a specific life meter or on a specific date.
To define a one-time job, specify a schedule type of ONE-TIME and either the date next due (if time is the driving factor for scheduling) or the life meter 1 and 2 next due (if meter is the driving factor for scheduling).
To define a recurring cycle, specify a schedule type of RECURRING and the number of time units, the time unit parameter, and/or the meter 1 and 2 override.
Opening a work order for a scheduled job creates a repair work order with a status of PENDING. When the work order is finished, the date performed information on this tab is updated. If the schedule type is RECURRING, the next due information based on the cycle is also updated.
Detail View Header
The field in the top section of this tab defines the data that displays.
Equipment ID
Identifier of the equipment unit currently selected
in the grid. This field
has a zoom button
to the Data -> Equipment Units ->
Fleet Equipment screen, on which equipment
unit IDs are defined. It also has a list box. The equipment
unit year, manufacturer, model, meter readings, and description display
to the right of the ID.
Tip: You can set a zoom button for this field to detect the type of equipment and display the appropriate screen. If you used Administrator Mode to add a zoom button, you will need to use it again to remove your user-defined zoom button for this functionality to work.
Detail View
Data in the fields in the bottom section of this tab provide information about the scheduled repair job. Unless otherwise indicated, these fields are optional.
Delete
If this field has a check, the entire row is deleted when you click Save.
Standard job ID
Identifier of the standard job. Job class must match the equipment unit's resource class. This field has a list box. Required only if a task ID is not provided.
Task ID
Identifier of the task. Must be a valid REPAIR GROUP or REPAIR TASK. This field has a list box, restricted based on the equipment unit's asset category. Required only if a standard job ID is not provided.
Date last due
Date (in MMDDYYYY format) that the last service was completed. When the Last performed work order field is updated, its previous value displays in this field. Display only.
Date last start
Date (in MMDDYYYY format) that the last service began. Display only.
Last performed work order
Date (in MMDDYYYY format) the work order was finished. Display only.
Date next due
Date (in MMDDYYYY format) of the next service. Calculated as the date the work order was finished incremented by the number of time units specified on the EQ_SCHEDJOB table.
Life meter 1 last start
Previous starting value for meter 1. Set to the meter reading from the work order. Must be greater than or equal to zero.
Meter 1 override
Number of meter units a unit is operated since a previous PM service at which the next PM service will be due even if the time range specified between services has not elapsed. Must be greater than or equal to zero.
Life meter 1 next due
Next reading for meter 1 at which service is due. If the meter 1 override is specified, the system sets this field equal to the sum of life meter 1 last start plus meter 1 override. If this value is greater than the meter's maximum value, the system sets this field equal to next due meter minus the maximum meter value plus 1. The system essentially rolls the meter over, which should occur if the value of the last start plus the override exceeds the maximum meter value or if the user enters a value that is greater than the maximum meter value.
Life meter 2 last start
Previous starting value for meter 2. Set to the meter reading from the work order. Must be greater than or equal to zero.
Meter 2 override
Number of meter units a unit is operated since a previous PM service at which the next PM service will be due even if the time range specified between services has not elapsed. Must be greater than or equal to zero.
Life meter 2 next due
Next reading for meter 2 at which service is due. If the meter 2 override is specified, the system sets this field equal to the sum of life meter 2 last start plus meter 2 override. If this value is greater than the meter's maximum value, the system sets this field equal to next due meter minus the maximum meter value plus 1. The meter is essentially rolled over, which should occur if the value of the last start plus the override exceeds the maximum meter value or if the user enters a value that is greater than the maximum meter value.
Fuel used since last PM
Amount of fuel used since the last service. This field is updated when a fuel ticket is added for a vehicle. It resets when the scheduled job is performed. This field is display only.
Fuel override
Number of fuel units a unit is operated since a previous PM service at which the next PM service will be due even if the time range specified between services has not elapsed. Must be greater than or equal to zero.
Soon due days
Number of days into the future that should be considered to determine whether an equipment unit (or linear asset) will soon be due for a PM service. A zero (0) disables the warning message for that meter and falls back to the class' soon due data settings. This field is optional.
An equipment unit (or linear asset) is identified as "soon due" if the current date plus the number of days in this field is greater than or equal to the next service due date.
Soon due meter 1 range
The remaining range on meter 1 an equipment unit (or linear asset) will soon be due for a PM service. A zero (0) disables the warning message for that meter and falls back to the class' soon due data settings. This field is optional.
An equipment unit (or linear asset) is identified as "soon due" if the current date plus the number of days in this field is greater than or equal to the next service due date.
Soon due meter 2 range
The remaining range on meter 1 an equipment unit (or linear asset) will soon be due for a PM service. A zero (0) disables the warning message for that meter and falls back to the class' soon due data settings. This field is optional.
An equipment unit (or linear asset) is identified as "soon due" if the current date plus the number of days in this field is greater than or equal to the next service due date.
Number of time units
Number of units of the time frame specified in the Time unit field. Must be greater than or equal to zero.
Time unit
Time unit for the scheduled job. This field has a list box:
DAYS
WEEKS
MONTHS
END OF MONTH
FIRST OF MONTH
Schedule type
Maintenance schedule for the job. This field is required. This field has a list box:
RECURRING
ONE-TIME
COMPLETED
Work class
Default work class associated with the scheduled job. This field has a list box. This field is optional.
When a REPAIR work order is opened on the Equipment Due for Service/Inspection screens (both -by Equipment and -by Location) the system uses the work class associated with the scheduled job to default the work class on the work order and the repair task for the work order.
Repair Reason ID
The identifier of the repair reason for the scheduled job.
Comment source
Source of comments about the scheduled job,
Comment for work order
Text-only field for comments about the scheduled job. The maximum field length is 200 characters. Text in this field is included on the generated work order.
