Estimated duration
Approximately how long the task will take to complete. APM uses this information when a task is placed on a schedule.

For standing work orders, you will usually enter a long duration, such as a year or more.
See Also

Calculate estimated duration
Select this option to have the system calculate the task’s estimated duration. The system sets the task’s estimated duration to the trade, tool, or service requirement with the longest total duration (Lag time plus the Required for time).
If you clear this option you can enter an estimated duration directly.
Note: This option is only available if trade, tool, or time-based service requirements have been added to the task.
For example, you have a task with three trade requirements:
•
One mechanic: 4 hours, 0 lag (4 hours total)
•
One electrician: 2 hours, 3 hour lag (5 hours total)
•
One mechanic: 2 hours, 5 hour lag (7 hours total)
The third requirement has the longest combined required-for and lag times. As a result, when the estimated duration is calculated, the system sets the task’s duration to seven hours.
