The Time Schedule with Object Reference is usually used for recurring measures on technical objects, such as "a pressure vessel" or "all electrical equipment in production".
Opening a new Time Schedule
Clicking on „Time Schedule“ on the „Homepage“ below „Actions“:
Alternative:
After displaying the existing Time Schedules by clicking on „Time Schedules“, a new Time Schedule can then be opened by clicking in „New“.
Details Info Tab General

Here, required Items, External Services, Resources or Resource Groups are preset.
Details Info Tab Activity
It´s recommended to fill the field „Type of Activity code“ for evaluation purposes.
Details Info Tab Interval
The “Interval” tab cannot be filled in because interval information is taken from the object monitoring line of the technical object.
Details Info Tab Accounting
The field „Work Order Posting Group“ is either preset or must be selected for integration with accounting.
Details Info Tab Appointments
If it is already determined that the activity will require a standstill, this can already be indicated here accordingly.
Adding Checklists, Texts or Comments
In the Time Schedule, „Comments” as well as Checklists, Instructions and Work Notices can be added by clicking on „More Options“, „Navigate“ „Time Schedule“ and then „Texts“.
Defining Time Schedule Object Monitoring Lines
As can be seen from the „Time Schedule Object Monitoring“ Info Box, no Object Monitoring Line is linked to this Time Schedule yet.
The linking of the Time Schedule with the technical object can be defined by clicking on „Process“ and „Object Monitoring Line“.
The line view to edit the Time Schedule Object Monitoring Line is opened:
The Entry of the following cell information is made from left to right:
| Field Name |
Description / Information |
| Type |
The Technical Object, which is to be linked to the Time Schedule, must be selected. The Options are:
|
| No. | Once the Type is selected, the Technical Object can be selected in the Drill-Down-Menu |
| Object Description | If No. is selected, update with F5: the field will be filled automatically |
| Type of Monitoring | Informative only |
| Description | Will be copied from Time Schedule automatically and can be changed. |
| Status | If the technical object has been shut down, sold or scrapped, for example, the "Deleted" status can be used. In case of temporary inactivity, the status "Blocked" can be used. |
| Set next Action at |
The Options are:
|
| Time Slice | Interval between appointments, e.g. 1M (1 Month), 1W (1 Week), … |
| Starting Date-Time | Selection/Entry of the Starting Date (Day on which the activity last took place, e.g. "t" for today). If there is no real date here, in order to get a future date proposal, a calculated date in the past must be entered based on the selected time interval (formula: "desired due date minus time interval = start day to be entered"). |
| Due Date Calculation | Informative only ("Overdue" formula e.g. 1M (1 Month), …) |
| New Date Possible | Informative only (Link to „Date Handlings“) |
| Last Action at Date-Time | Informative only (Indication of the calculated last due Appointment) |
| Next Action at Date-Time |
Informative only (Indication of the calculated next due Appointment) The result of the calculation can be checked here! |
| Calendar Week | Informative only (Calendar week indication of next due Appointment) |
| Calendar Year | Informative only (Calendar year indication of next due Appointment) |
If the check of the calculated date by means of the field „Next Action at Date-Time“ has shown, that the date calculation is correct, see following Figure, the entry of the Time Schedule Monitoring Line for the technical object is completed.
If further technical components are to be linked to the Time Schedule, they can easily be added with further Time Schedule Object Monitoring Lines (see Chap. 8 and Figure 9: Time Schedule Object Monitoring Lines).
