Details Tab – Procedures Module

The Details tab, displayed by default when you create a new procedure or first open a procedure in the Procedure module, displays key information about the item.

ClosedField Descriptions: General Info (left side of the page)

The following fields are displayed on the left side of the Procedure Details page:

  • ID / Name — Identifying fields for the procedure. The Procedure ID is used to uniquely identify the procedure. The Name field is typically a more descriptive indicator. The Procedure ID and Name are both displayed in the Procedure list.

  • Category — The category for the item.

  • Reference — Additional reference information for the procedure.

  • Target Hours — The target hours estimated for completion of the procedure. The target hours are populated to work orders associated with this procedure.

    Note:

    The selected priority can affect the Work Order Target Completion Date. For more information on setting priority rules, see: Work Order Priority Manager.

  • Type / Priority — The type and priority for the procedure. Both values populate to any work order associated with this procedure.

    Note:

    Work Order priority can be set by default through a preference, procedure, asset, or defined preventive maintenance schedule. Should a work order have associations to multiple priority values—for example, if a procedure and an asset with differing priority values were both associated with a work order—preference is given in the following order: asset, PM, procedure, manual entry or preference default.

  • Project — If the procedure is associated with a project, you can use the Project lookup to designate the project.

  • Shop / Supervisor — The shop and / or supervisor under which the procedure is managed.

  • Library — The library (repair center) to which the procedure is associated, which is used to filter records in the list and lookup results. To ensure this procedure shows up for all libraries, leave the field blank.

ClosedField Descriptions: Status, Indicators, and Photo (right side of the page)

The following fields are displayed on the right side of the Procedure Details page:

  • Active Status — Used to indicate if the procedure is active.
