Assigning an Inspection Template to a PM
A great way to ensure your inspections are being done in a consistant way during your preventive maintenance services is to add an inspection template to your PM’s within your asset file. See adding PM’s to assets. Anytime you assign the PM VMRS code to a work order for that specific asset the inspection will be added to the PM line.
If you click the line below “Inspection” you will get a pop up box with a list of inspections to add to this PM.
In this case PMB MACK Dump was selected. You can now see an inspection has been added to this PM.
Assigning an Inspection Template to a Work Order
You can also add an inspection template to the work order line. Once the line is added, if you click on the job line you will see the inspection button at the bottom left. The sign means no inspection has been added.
