Editing a Schedule Entry

This topic explains how to edit an existing schedule entry. For example, you might need to change the duration or start time for the entry.
If the changes to the entry will affect the duration, start or end time, or shift, and the option Entries respect shift and date boundaries is enabled for the schedule, the system automatically creates split entries. If you reduce the duration so that splits are no longer needed, the system deletes the splits.
Note: Schedule entries that are split can only be edited from the original entry; the split entry cannot be edited directly. Changes made on the entry apply to the entire task.

To Edit a Schedule Entry

1.
Open the schedule.
2.
Make sure that editing is enabled.
3.
Select the Worksheet view, Entries tab. This tab displays a list of the schedule entries.
4.
Double-click the entry that you want to edit. The Schedule Entry dialog appears.
5.
On the General tab, Requirements tab, make the appropriate changes to the scheduling information:
Setting Name
Description
Duration
The duration of the schedule entry. APM automatically enters this based on the estimated duration of the work order task requirement that was used to create this entry. You can change the duration if necessary.
If you enter a duration that is longer than the entry’s shift, and the split entries option is enabled for the schedule, the system automatically creates split entries. If you reduce the duration so that splits are no longer needed, the system deletes the splits.
Start date and time
The earliest start date and time for this entry and its splits. The system calculates this date and time, and you cannot change it here.
Shift
The starting shift for this task. The system sets this to the earliest starting shift for this entry and any related split entries.
If necessary, you can change the shift here.
6.
Select the Details tab. If necessary, you can change any of the following settings:
Setting Name
Description
Scheduling priority
The scheduling priority for this schedule entry. APM may enter the scheduling priority based on the priority selected on the work order task, or based on the scheduling priority settings in the properties for this schedule.
You can use the scheduling priority to filter and sort lists of schedule entries.
Scheduling status
The scheduling status for the work order task. The system sets this status when the task is scheduled. If necessary, you can change the status. The options are Task is partly scheduled, and Task is fully scheduled.
Maintenance group
The maintenance group assigned to this schedule entry. APM may enter the maintenance group based on the group selected on the work order task, or based on the maintenance group settings in the properties for this schedule.
