Setting up Standard Jobs

Contents
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. The main purpose of a standard job is to group standard tasks to simplify the creation of work orders.
When a standard job is used to create a work order, APM uses the job’s standard tasks to create the work order’s tasks. You can add triggering rules to a standard job so that work orders are triggered automatically. Standard jobs can be used to acknowledge indicator alarms and warnings. You can also manually trigger a standard job to create a work order at any time.
Note: If the standard job has an open work order that was automatically triggered based on an indicator, it cannot be manually triggered.
A standard job can be based on a job template or created from scratch. When based on a job template, the job’s list of tasks originates with the list of tasks on the job template.
The topics in this section explain how to create and set up standard jobs.
