The following is the recommended flow of activities for breakdown maintenance:
-
Start an EDE view that lists instruments.
-
Select the required instruments (tag numbers) for which you want to enter work requests and start the Calibration module.
-
If the instruments require calibration, enter the required calibration settings for the selected tag numbers. For details, see Define Tag Calibration Settings.
Failure to define the calibration settings prior to starting the Maintenance module
results in the inability to enter the calibration values when completing a Repair
Form. (The Calibration As Found/As Left dialog will not be accessible.).

Go back to the EDE view and right-click the selected tags.

Associate the tag category and criticality as needed. For details, see Associate Tag Category and Criticality.

Enter the required repair or work request values.

Complete the entry of the required repair or work request values.
