Editing Meter Periods

< Previous section  |  Table of Contents  |  Index  |  Next section >

You create meter-based periods for maintenance timing records using the meter period editor. The usual way to open the editor is to start in the Periods section of a timing record, then click New Meter Period.

The meter period editor window contains the following:

Schedule: A read-only field giving the name of the maintenance timing record that will contain this meter period.

Meter Class: The class of the meter that will be used in taking measurements. For more on meter classes, see Meter Classes.

Meter Class UOM: A read-only field giving the units of measurement used by the specified class of meter.

Interval: The meter measurement for the period. For example, if you enter 3000 for a meter that measures miles, the work should be done every 3000 miles.

Save & New: Saves the current record and sets up the window for you to enter a new record. Fields in the new record will be blank or set to default values.

Save: Saves the current record. The editor window stays open in case you want to make more changes to the same record.

Save & Close: Saves the current record and closes the editor window.

Cancel: Closes the window without saving any changes you've made to the record since the last time you saved. When you Save the record, the Cancel button changes to Close, indicating that you can safely close the window without losing any changes.

Close: Closes the window. This button only appears after you've saved changes with Save or before you've entered any data at all. Otherwise, the button is labeled Cancel.
