Defining Work Rule Templates
To keep assets healthy, it is often necessary that multiple maintenance rules qualify for work orders based on a diverse set of conditions on a single maintenance plan. You can define work rule templates per applicable products on maintenance plan templates, combining one or more maintenance rules that utilize the following types of conditions:
• Frequency
• Criteria
• Time/Calendar
When creating a work rule template for an Asset 360 maintenance plan template, you may define work rule details such as Work Type, Sort Order, Asset Technical Attribute Template, and the conditions specific to that work rule.
To add a work rule template to a maintenance plan template:
1. Click the maintenance plan template for which you want to add the work rule template in the Maintenance Plan Templates list view page.
2. Navigate to the Work Rule Templates tab. All the existing work rules templates are displayed.
3. Click New Work Rule Template.
You can access the New Work Rule Template option as follows:
◦ From the top of the page: If you click the option on the top of the page, the Select Applicable Product modal window is displayed. All the applicable products associated with the maintenance plan template are listed.
◦ From the drop-down menu on the product row: If you click the option for a displayed applicable product, the New Work Rule Template modal window is displayed for that product.
Select the applicable product for which you want to create the work rule template and click Next.
