Maintenance plan schedule examples
Maintenance plans are created for models (assets) or locations. The schedule trigger type defined for a maintenance plan can be meter or duration-based schedule. Associate multiple templates to maintenance schedules as required. The scheduled job fetches plan records that have a template associated to it and creates maintenance cases for a maintenance plan.
For example, use cases for creating maintenance plans can be based on the following:
- Schedule printer ink cartridge replacement
- Schedule coffee beans refill
Maintenance schedule for printer ink cartridge replacement
Schedule a printer ink cartridge replacement after printing a specified number of pages for a location. For example, 10,000 pages. Define a general plan with a meter-based maintenance schedule. Associate a schedule template, for example, Schedule template A.
