This option will allow a user to update existing PM schedules or create PM schedules for one or more assets selected.

The Skip Blank Fields option should be checked if the user wants to ensure that any fields left blank in the Update PM Info Panel are not overwritten to be blank in existing PM schedules already set for the selected list of assetscheckbox essentially says that if a field is blank RTA will skip it during the edit rather than set it to blank. This allows users to do something like update the description by itself without affecting the rest of the items. |

Update PM Info Panel Fields
...
Field Title | Description/Use |
|---|---|
PM Code | Prefilled with the PM Code entered during step 2c above or blank if left blank and user can add the PM code to be added/updated to the asset list here |
VMRS | Add the corresponding VMRS code associated with the selected PM code in the RTA system. PM Schedules should be and are generally listed with the 066 Major VMRS Code |
PM Description | Prefilled to match the VMRS Code added |
Interval | Select the intervals to be used for measuring and determining when the PM should be completed. Options include days, units (meter), gallons, etc. |
Include PM | If this PM should be nested with another schedule, be sure to include that PM code here. For example, a PM A Safety Inspection performed monthly might be nested to be included with a PM B Oil Service which happens every three months. This ensures that when the asset is brought in for the oil service, the inspection is completed at the same time eliminating the need to pull the asset in again separately. |
One Time PM Selector | Select this option if this PM will only occur once. Typically this is left off but would apply to something like a warranty expiration PM. |
Work Order Template | Link a created work order template to this schedule |
PM Part Kit | Link a created PM Part Kit to this schedule |
Inspection | Link a created paperless inspection to this schedule |
Override Sleep PM Selector | Select if wanting to update the schedule sleep mode (make inactive for a time) |
Sleep PM Selector | Turn on to put to sleep and select a date range for the schedule to snooze |
