Scheduling new preventive maintenance work orders is done from the Maintenance module > Actions > Schedule Preventive Maintenance Event or from an EDE View. After a PM work order has been scheduled, in the Maintenance module and the Maintenance Activities Summary window you continue the further handling of these activities where you fill in the maintenance details or reports.

To define the raw PM activities, tasks and attachments, you need to access the Maintenance module and start to define the tasks from the lowest level – the 'attachment'. An 'attachment' describes a set of instructions to the technical staff. An attachment can be associated with any external document (a Microsoft Word file, a scanned image, or manufacturer maintenance document). Typical attachments define safety precaution instructions, technical instructions for bypassing a process, the actual set of instructions required to carry out the activity itself, restoring the process back to its operational status, and so forth.

A task is a set of instructions associated with an attachment. You can associate a single attachment with multiple PM activities. A task can include the attachment and a description.

After you define the attachments and tasks, you can introduce a new PM activity. Each PM activity can hold several tasks in the sequence they were added. At this stage, it is also advisable to associate a PM code with a particular typical instrument (for example, transmitter, transducer, control valve, switch, and so forth.) This is very useful for report generation and other statistics. Moreover, a PM activity contains additional default information, such as the required calibration values, the down/repair time that an average maintenance job will take, the interval and frequency for each PM job.

After all the required attachments, tasks, and activities have been defined, the preventive maintenance supervisor can schedule these activities to the selected tags. At this stage, the PM activities are ready to be further processed and be filled in by the maintenance crew in due time.
