Trigger Every

The length of time that will pass between triggerings. For example, the clause might be set to trigger every 30 days.

Time-Based Trigger Type

The type of time-based trigger used in this rule clause. Trigger every: The rule clause will be true and trigger work when the selected period of time has passed. For example, you could use this type of time-based trigger to generate a work order from a standard job every week. To do this, you would select Trigger every “1 week”. Trigger with shutdown: The rule clause will trigger work for the planned shutdown selected here. For example, you could use this type of time-based trigger to generate a work order from a standard job during a yearly shutdown. To do this, you would select Trigger on “Yearly” shutdown. Trigger on: The rule clause will trigger work on the date and time specified.

Calendar or In-Operation Days

This option indicates whether the rule clause considers calendar days or days that the asset is in operation when calculating elapsed time rule clauses. For example, if a motor needs its oil changed every three months that it is in service, you would select “in operation”. If the motor is not in service, it does not need the oil changed.

Shutdown Type

The shutdown type that will trigger the standard job.

Early Warning Trigger Duration

You can enter an early warning time for the rule clause in the with early warning box. For example, you could have an early warning five days in advance of the actual date trigger.

Trigger Based On

The way that the time interval will be measured: Variable: starting from the completion date of the last work order that was triggered from this standard job. Select this option to delay the start of the countdown until the previous work order has been completed. If you are triggering work orders for a time period that goes into the future, the system will count from the requested completion date. The requested completion date is calculated based on the planned start date, plus the estimated duration of all of the work order tasks. Fixed: starting from the requested start date of the last work order that was triggered from this standard job. Select this option to always have the same time interval between triggerings.

Asset

The asset that owns the indicator that is used in the rule clause.

Title

Indicator

The name of the indicator used in this rule clause.

	See Also

Trigger Based On

The rule clause can be triggered based on the current value of the indicator or based on the current state of the indicator. For example, for a temperature indicator, the rule clause might be triggered when the indicator has a current value of 30 degrees or when the indicator is in a “warning” state. Indicator Value: The rule clause will be true when the current indicator value fits within the relationship identified by the clause’s operator. For example, if the clause states to trigger when the value is equal to or greater than 50, the rule clause will be true when the indicator has a value of 50 or higher. Indicator State: The rule clause will be true when the indicator state is the same as the state selected for the rule clause.

Trigger Based On

The rule clause will be triggered based on the current value of the indicator. This is the only method of triggering available for cumulative indicators. The rule clause will be true when the current indicator value fits within the relationship identified by the clause’s operator. For example, if the clause states to trigger when the value is equal to or greater than 50, the rule clause will be true when the indicator has a value of 50 or higher.

	See Also

Operator

The operator used in this rule clause. There are six possible operators: Equals, Not Equal to, Greater Than or Equal to, Less Than or Equal to, Greater Than, and Less Than. For example, for a temperature indicator the rule clause might be true when the indicator value is “Greater than or equal to” 30 degrees. If the rule clause is based on indicator states, the rule clause might be true when the indicator has a state that is “Greater than or equal to Warning”. In this case, the clause will be true when the indicator is in a Warning state or in any other state with a severity greater than the Warning state, such as an Alarm state.

	See Also

Trigger Every

The value that must be entered on the indicator for the rule clause to be evaluated as true. For example, for an odometer indicator, the clause might be triggered every 5000 miles entered on the odometer.

	See Also

Trigger Value

The value of the indicator reading that will cause this rule clause to be true. For example, for a temperature indicator, the rule clause might be true when greater than or equal to 30 degrees.

	See Also

Indicator State

The state that the indicator must be in for the clause to be evaluated as true. For example, the clause might be triggered when the indicator is in a “critical alarm” state.

	See Also

Early Warning Value

The value that APM will use to calculate when an early warning should be issued for the standard job.

	See Also

Current Value

The current value of the indicator. APM displays this information based on the most recent reading entered for the indicator.

	See Also

Units Remaining until Triggered

The number of units remaining until a work order is triggered for this standard job. APM will only calculate this number for triggering rule clauses that are based on a cumulative indicator.

	See Also

Average Daily Usage

The daily average for the cumulative indicator that is used in the triggering rule for this standard job.

	See Also

Forecasted Early Warning Trigger Date

The date that APM expects the next early warning to trigger.

	See Also

Forecasted Trigger Date

The date that APM expects the next work order will be triggered. Note that the work order will be triggered when the rule clause evaluates to true, regardless of this forecasted date.
