Procedure Info |
The Procedure Info tab enables you to define the procedures necessary to perform a task. The procedures are printed on work orders for use in the shop. You can also use the procedure text to generate data entry forms that mechanics can use to record information as they perform their work.
Tip: To limit the display of information in the grid and maximize performance, use the filter. You can sort on task ID, description, task type, related component, and asset category ID, among other values.
The field in the top section of this tab defines the data that displays.
Task ID
Identifier of the task currently selected in the grid or that you are defining. If the task ID already exists, the task description displays to the right of the ID. This field has a list box of IDs that have a check in the Active field on the Basic Info tab, which indicates you can post charges to the task.
Task IDs are defined on the Basic Info tab.
Data in the field in the bottom section of this tab defines procedure information about the task. Unless otherwise indicated, these fields are required.
Task procedure information
Detailed procedure or description of the task ID. Optional.
The procedures are printed on the repair and PM orders for use in the shop. You can also use these procedures to generate data entry forms to record data during the repair or PM work.
Procedure text is formatted on printed work orders as a continuous stream of characters, broken into lines between words. The printed version does not correspond to the text lines that display on the screen because the screen uses a proportional (variable width) font and the printer uses a monospace (fixed width) font.
To ensure that the printed version corresponds to the text lines on the screen, type no more than 60 characters (including spaces) on a line and press ENTER at the end of each line of text.
