Past Due Flag - the interval will display a past due icon when the PM interval is past due for service  Image AddedInterval Type - What Interval is being tracked (Miles, Hours Gallons etc.) 🔓 Lock Icon - Locking the interval means the next due will consistently trigger off of Due and not when done
| Info |
|---|
Note: The Interval Lock option allows one to modify how the next due point gets calculated. With a PM Unlocked the system calculates the last done which normally comes from the completed line on a work order (Last Done + PM Interval = Next Due). With a PM Locked the “Next Due” is set by the end user and the system calculates forward from that number (Next Due + PM Interval = New Next Due). This is particularly handy for things like DOT and/or State Inspections. |
Interval - This represents the trigger interval which can be in Days, Months, Miles, Hours, Gallons or up to 4 Alt Meter categories Lock Type - If the Interval is locked it will tell you what the lock category is ex. Months, Days, Miles and or Hours 🔓 Tolerance -This allows you to set a +/- tolerance level for a PM as either a percent of the interval or a set number against the interval. This sets the acceptable done early or done late parameter for PM compliance. (Range at which the PM is still considered to be done on time) Last done – Reiterates the interval when the last PM was completed Current – Reiterates either the current meter reading or current date Next due – Reiterates the meter reading or date for the next PM based on interval 🔓 Add New - Allows a user to set up a secondary interval for a PM. For example, perhaps the oil change needs to be done either at xx miles or xx days; whichever occurs first
