You can define Maintenance events, to keep track of maintenance performed on a product by technical users.

A maintenance event can be of various types (e.g., repair, replacement part, cleaning, periodic inspection).

In addition, each type of event can be enriched with properties to better describe what was done during the maintenance session.

Creating a Maintenance Event Definition

To add a new Maintenance Event, you should:

Enter the Events / Maintenance page.
Select the Events tab.
Press the Add Event button.
Provide the required information.
Press the Save button.

Maintenance Event Properties

To enrich maintenance events with additional information about the performed task, Maintenance Properties can be defined and associated with one or more Maintenance Events.

To add a new Maintenance Property, you should:

Enter the Events / Maintenance page.
Select the Properties tab.
Press the Add Property button.
Provide the required information.
Press the Save button.

A Maintenance Property is defined by:

General

Name: the name of the property used to store the value within the maintenance event (e.g. filter_cleaning_varified).
Label: the text displayed to the user within the page when editing the maintenance event (e.g. Filter Cleaning Verified).
Description: the description of the property displayed aside the label (e.g. Verifies that all filters are....).
Type: the type of the property, which determines also how the property is edited and saved.
For a complete list of types, refer to the Property Types article.
Default value: the property default value assigned to a newly created event.
Maintenance Event Types: the list of maintenance event types this property is associated with.
Group: the key used to group properties within editing dialogs.
Default value: the property default value assigned to a newly created object.

Rendering

Order: the order used to sort properties within editing dialogs.
Selection: the selection mode (radio, select, switch) for multiple values.
Values: the set of value and label pairs in case of selection.

Constraints

Unique: it is not possible to have two objects with the same property value. If you try to create a new object or update an existing one, using the value already saved in another object, the backend will report an error.
Mandatory: the property cannot be left blank. When creating a new object or updating an existing object, if the value of the property is missing, the backend reports an error.
Limit write permissions depending on the user-type: you can limit the user-types can write the property value. If a user which is not authorized to the property, try to write it, the backend reports an error. Properties that are not writable by a user type are also not visible on the edit page of that object in the DPS application.
Min: the minimum value used for numeric properties' validation.
Max: the maximum value used for numeric properties' validation.

Registering Maintenance Events in the DPS

In the DPS, through the Maintenance Registry widget, users (e.g. technicians) can register maintenance events occurred on a specific product or location. Within the widget, the user, by adding a new maintenance event, can select the type of event and fill in the properties associated with the event.
