    Por Que e Quando Desempenhar Esta Tarefa

    Maintenance schedules are duration or meter based. For example, on the Maintenance Schedule form, select Duration or Meter as the trigger for replacing a printer ink cartridge. Define the maintenance schedule duration as three months and the paper sheets as 10,000. The schedule is triggered when the paper sheets need refill and the printer ink cartridges are replaced based on this trigger. The maintenance schedule populates the Next run time (duration-based schedules) and Next run value (meter-based schedules) in the Plan Service configuration. Maintenance schedule job checks for a maintenance schedule template in a plan record and creates maintenance cases.

    For more information, see Create plan service configuration and Workplace planned maintenance scheduled job.

      Meter-based schedule for a maintenance plan.

      • Table: Workplace Location or Model. Selected by default. The selection depends on your selection of Model (asset) or Location while creating a maintenance plan. For more information, see Create and publish maintenance plans.
      • Field: Field value for the trigger type. Select a value from the drop-down options. For example, Start Date and time.
      • Every: The repeat interval duration. The number of occurrences that must be recorded before the maintenance plan is executed. Takes an integer-based value and the value must be greater than zero (0). For example: 2 days.
      Minimum lead time in days Applicable only for a duration-based schedule and takes integer-based values (For example: 2). Number of days prior to the scheduled due date to determine the date on which the work should begin. That date is pre-filled in the Scheduled start field for the task. This field appears when Duration is selected for Trigger.

      The scheduled job ensures that the Next run time duration has the lead time value considered (Next run time value = Next schedule target date - Lead time).

      For example, if your Due day of week is next week Monday and your lead time is 2, then your lead time is Friday (the current week). By Friday, the maintenance plan schedule is assigned to a Workplace Manager or administrator for executing or triggering the schedule next week Monday.

    10. Publish the plan.
    11. Select the published plan record and on the calendar view, navigate to the Schedules tab.
