    • 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.

    1. Create a model-based maintenance plan for HP Printer Cartridge Replacement and publish the plan.

      For more information, see Create and publish maintenance plans.

    2. Create a meter-based schedule:
      • Name: Schedule name.
      • Trigger: Select Meter.
      • Trigger Type: Select the following trigger types for a meter-based schedule:
        • Table: Pre-filled values based on your plan type (model or location).
        • Field: For example, select the location type.
        • Every: Integer-based value. For example: 3

    The maintenance plan schedules the HP printer to replace ink cartridges after printing 10, 000 pages.

    Schedule coffee beans refilling for coffee machines

    Schedule coffee beans refilling for coffee machines daily. Associate a schedule template, for example, Schedule template B. The schedule should have an entry in the Workplace Maintenance Service configuration table.
    1. Create a model-based maintenance plan for Coffee machines and publish the plan.
    2. Create a duration-based schedule:
      • Name: Schedule name.
      • Active: Select this option to activate the schedule for a maintenance plan.
      • Trigger: Select Duration.
      • Trigger Type: Interval. Specify the duration in days and hours since this is a daily schedule.

    The coffee beans are refilled daily based on the scheduling condition and template associated to this maintenance plan.
