This feature was designed to manage your objects in a better way by using multipurpose indicator. It will help you to track moto hours or other index and will make sure that your objects are up to date.
When creating a new object you will be able to see few new lines: “Indicator required” checkbox and “Indicator” field. The checkbox will mark if this object requires indicator and the “Indicator” will show the current number added.
Have in mind that object card you see might be a bit different. It depends on “New object window” settings. Here you can also select where to display indicator fields: primary or additional information tab.
Before creating a work order, you should check the type. You can select to show warranty number.
If the checkbox is marked, when work order is completed you will be able to add a claim number for the work order. Find warranty claim status column in the work orders list (if it is not there, you should add it via "View settings" button).
Click on the green icon and a pop up table for warranty claim status will appear. You can add the number and click save button. The number will appear in the column right away.
When a work order with object that has an indicator is created, application user sees it in the “Info” tab under the “Object” details. Until it is not added, indicator is in red color.
Start a work order, click on the indicator and you will be able to enter the new value into the pop up window. Indicator can be lower or higer than current one. However in some cases user will get a pop up identifying to check if the indicator is correct.Also, the number might consist of 12 symbols maximum.
After “Confirm” action on the pop up window, the indicator value will change. The color will also change from red to green.
Indicator field is not active until you start a work order. If the work order is inactive, stopped or completed, you will not be able to enter any value.
If user tries to add lower indicator comparing to previous one, he will get Low Value warning pop up notification. User can cancel the entry or confirm it.
If the indicator that user is trying to add is much more bigger comparing to the current one, user will also be notified with High Value warning. The pop up will disappear when user clicks "Confirm".
If an indicator was marked as required in the administrator platform, application user will not be able to finish the work order until he updates the number. The pop up will appear.
If an indicator is not required, app user will not be reminded to fill the field, it will be optional.
If you stop the work order, the pop up to enter indicator will appear again and you will need to add the same or high value.
You can filter if the indicator is required in the objects list by using "Indicator required" filter.
When a work order is completed, object indicator is updated and the change is visible in the object card, administrator environment.
Administrator can change the indicator for the work order if needed. Just click the edit on the work order and change indicator field value. If the value for work order was changed, that does not mean that it was updated for the object. You will change only work order's indicator.
To see indicator value for the work order, add it via "Columns" button in the list. When a checkbox is marked, indicator column will be visible in the list.
It is also useful to have a filter for work orders to filter out by indicator. You can filter by the exact value or the range of values. Just enter min and max values (if it would be same value for both fields, it will filter exact value) and you will see filtered data in the list.
Moreover, administrator can always export the work orders or use total report to see object’s indicator in the particular work order as we save each indicator in the work order despite the newest update of the object. This means that even if the indicator for the specific object is 250 now, you can see what it was in the work order that was completed days, weeks or months ago.
When exporting work orders make sure you have selected “Indicator”.
One more thing is related with PDF report. If you want object's warranty information to be visible in the PDF act, you can go to Settings > Job card layout > Work order details.
Three metrics are avalable: warranty start date, warranty end date, extended warranty end date. If the checkbox is marked, all this information will be visible in PDF act.
