Creating a Standard Job from a Template

A standard job is a collection of standard tasks for one or more assets. For example, you might create a standard job for a vehicle that includes standard tasks such as changing the oil, inspecting the brakes, and rotating the tires. A standard job can also include rules that determine when the tasks are converted to work order tasks.

Standard jobs can be set up so that work orders generated from a standard job are automatically scheduled. Automatic scheduling reduces the effort required to develop your maintenance schedules. You can set up automatic scheduling both for maintenance groups that use simple scheduling and those that use availability scheduling.

You can create standard jobs from a template or from scratch. When you create a standard job from a job template, the standard job contains all of the planning information that was included on the template. This topic explains how to create a standard job from a template.
