Favorites can also be generated by APM to inform one or more employees about asset conditions. For example, when you are defining an indicator’s states, you can specify that employees be assigned a favorite for the indicator if it goes into alarm. For more information, see Adding States and Alarms to an Indicator or Template.
Similarly, APM can be set up to generate a favorite for a standard job whenever the PM generation process is unable to create a work order for it. The favorite specifies the date and time that the trigger failed and the error that caused the failure. The favorite is created whether PM generation is performed interactively or as a scheduled action. For information about setting this option, see Setting up the Policy for Recording PM Generation Errors.
