Code	The identifier of the equipment or location.
	The description of the equipment or location is displayed alongside.
	Zoom facility available

Enter the following fields in the “Calendar Based” group box:

Interval	The period after which the inspection must be carried out on the equipment or location (Decimal). Data entry in this field is mandatory if you have specified a date in the “Extended Date” field. Ensure that the interval is a positive number.
Interval Unit	Use the drop-down list box to specify the interval unit. The system provides the options: “Days”, “Weeks”, “Months” and “Years”.
Interval Type	Use the drop-down list box to specify whether the interval is a fixed interval or an actual interval. The system provides the following options:
	Fixed Interval – Select this option if inspection must be carried out on equipment or location after the specified period in the “Interval” field has lapsed, irrespective of whether the previous inspection is completed or not.
	Actual Interval – Select this option if inspection must be carried out on equipment or location after the specified period in the “Interval” field has lapsed and only after the previous inspection is completed.
Initial Date	The date on which the inspection must be started (Date Format). This field should not be left blank, if an interval is specified in the “Interval” field.

The system displays the following field:

Next Due Date

The date on which the next inspection is due to be performed on the equipment or location.

Enter the following field:

Extended Date	The date on which you wish to start the inspection (Date Format). Ensure that the date entered is later than the date displayed in the “Last IO Date” field.
Adjust Next Due Date?	Use the drop-down list box to specify whether you wish to adjust the subsequent dates on which inspection must be carried out based on the date entered in the “Extended Date” field. The system provides the options: “Yes’ or “No”. Do not leave this field blank, if you have specified a date in the “Extended Date” field. The system displays “No”, by default.

The system displays the following field:

Last IO No.	The number of the last inspection order that was generated based on the schedule.
Last IO Date	The date of the last inspection order.
Last IO Compl. Date	The date on which the last inspection order was completed.

Enter the following fields in the “Usage Based” multiline if you wish to define schedules based on usage for the equipment or location:

Parameter	The parameter based on which the inspection must be done on the equipment or location (Alphanumeric, 30). This field cannot be modified. If you are entering a new parameter, ensure the following:
	The parameter is already defined as a consumption parameter in the “Create Parameter” activity of the “Equipment Induction” business component and is in the “Active” status.
	The parameter has already been attached to the equipment or the location in the “Create Equipment” or “Create Location” activities.
	Help facility available
	Press <Enter>. The system retrieves the “Interval Unit” field in the multiline.

Note: Ensure that the parameter is unique to the multiline.

Interval

The value of the parameter after which inspection must be carried out (Decimal). This field should not be left blank, if a parameter has been specified in the “Parameter” field. Ensure that the interval is a positive number.

The system displays the following fields in the multiline:

Interval Unit	The unit of the interval.
Next Due Value	The value of the parameter at which the next inspection on the equipment is due.

Enter the following fields in the multiline:

Extended Value	The value of the parameter at which you wish to carry out the inspection on the equipment or location (Decimal). Ensure that the extended value is later than the value displayed in the “Value At Last IO” field.
Adjust Next Due Value	Use the drop-down list box to specify whether you wish to adjust the next due parameter values on which inspection must be carried out based on the value entered in the “Extended Value” field. The system provides the options: “Yes” or “No”. Do not leave this field blank, if you have specified a value in the “Extended Value” field in the multiline.

The system displays the following fields in the multiline:

Last IO No.	The number of the last inspection order that was raised for carrying out the inspection.
Value At Last IO	The parameter value at which the last inspection order was raised for carrying out the inspection on the equipment/location.
Last IO Sch. Start Date	The date on which the last inspection order was scheduled to start.
Value Before Meter Reset	The value of the parameter before the last meter reset.

Click any one of the following options in the “Execution Option” group box:

Calendar and Usage Sch. Independently	Click this button if you wish to generate inspection orders for the calendar-based schedule and for every parameter in the usage-based schedules.
Calendar OR Usage Sch. whichever earlier	Click this button if you wish to generate an inspection order for the earliest of the calendar-based or the usage-based schedules.
Calendar and whichever earlier in Usage	Click this option if you wish to generate inspection orders for the calendar-based schedule and for the earliest of the parameters in the usage-based schedules.

Click the “Edit” pushbutton to create interval-based schedules.

The system saves the details of the interval schedules.

The system displays the following fields in the “Record Statistics” group box:

Created By	The login ID of the user who created the schedule.
Created Date	The date and time at which the schedule was created.
Last Modified By	The login ID of the user who last modified the schedule.
Last Modified Date	The date and time at which the schedule was last modified.

Editing interval schedules of inspection schedules – An overview

This page allows you to edit the details of the interval schedules that are already defined.

If you have defined a calendar-based schedule, you can modify the time interval after which the inspection is due to be performed, the unit of the time interval and the type of the interval.

If you are unable to start the work on the inspection on the next due date, you can specify the extended date on which you wish to start the inspection. You are also given the option of adjusting the new due date based on the extended date. This can be explained with the help of the following example:

Suppose inspection is due to be performed on April 1 and an interval of one week is provided for carrying out the next inspection. If you have entered an extended date of April 3 and have set the option of adjusting the next due date as “Yes”, the system recalculates the next due dates as April 10, April 17 and so on. If you have set the option of adjusting the next due date as “No”, the system arrives at the next due dates as April 7, April 14 and so on.

If you have defined a usage-based schedule, you can redefine the parameters based on which the inspection must be done and the value of the parameter after which the inspection must be done. If you are not able to perform the inspection on the specified parameter value, you can enter the extended value based on which the maintenance can be performed. You can also specify whether the subsequent parameter values must be adjusted or not, based on the extended parameter value.

The system displays the details of the last inspection order that has been carried out based on the inspection along with the date on which it was performed. For a usage-based parameter, the system displays the value of the parameter as on the date of the last meter reset.

You can also edit the execution option based on which the inspection orders are generated.
