000050
Support ability to limit the duration that is scheduled for a work order task
Support the ability to limit the duration scheduled per shift for a work order task This feature allows you to set a limit to the amount of time allocated to each shift when the work is scheduled. As described by the customer who submitted the request:
I would like to see an enhancement made to the system so that a work task can be flagged or limited so that it will only schedule a portion of the hours for a shift and if possible, it would schedule it on consecutive days for the same number of hours until the hour requirement is met. What I would like to see it a way to make a weekly work order task (PM) that can be used for each day of the week but limit its hours for each day. For example, if you had a work order that required 15 hours per week, but you need to spread that out based on 3 hours per day on Monday through Friday without creating 5 separate tasks for 3 hours each. I have seen this done in other systems using the duration field to calculate this out. It had the option (a check-box was available when this option was desired) to manually enter a duration (rather than auto calculate) after the number of craftsmen and hours were entered on the order. If you stated that you needed 15 hours of work scheduled over a duration of 40 hours (settings for the day are 8 hours per day), then when you schedule that work order it would break it up into 5 consecutive days with 3 hours per day scheduled for that order.
When the feature is enabled, you are able to identify that the work is to be limited to a set duration when it is scheduled. The scheduling limit can be defined on a standard task and is copied to the work order task. The limits can also be defined directly on the work order task. This feature is generally available.
000049
Link an acknowledgment to a work document with AssetWise Interoperability
This feature allows you to acknowledge an indicator alarm by referencing an existing Request for Work, Interop Work Request, or Interop Work Order.
When an alarm is acknowledged with an existing work document, a new Request for Work is not created. No information is passed to the CMMS. The link to the existing work document remains known to APM only. It is assumed the user knows that the scope of the existing work addresses the new alarm. When the feature is enabled, you are able to identify that an alarm is being acknowledged with an existing work document. The existing work document must be identified.
When the feature is disabled, alarms can only be acknowledged with a new Request for Work.
000048
Support for user defined fields on AssetWise Interoperability Work Documents
Support for user-defined fields with AssetWise Interoperability This feature allows you to extend the information on the Interop work documents to include a number of user fields. The user fields consist of:
When the feature is enabled, you are able to identify the user fields to be used and name each of the used fields. Additionally you are able to identify if any of the used fields are mandatory or read only by work type and site. User fields are supported on Interop work order, Interop work requests, solution packages, and requests for work. This includes all places where a request for work can be initiated, such as an alarm acknowledgment or follow up work request. When the feature is disabled, the user fields cannot be used. This feature is generally available.
