Tab allows you to enter Equipment into the Task.  For example, for the change oil task you would add your two cars (equipment) into the task.  When you add equipment to the task you also set how often you want to do it for each piece of equipment and when it is first due.

FIELDS:

Equipment#: Equipment number for the task

Schedule By: There are 3 methods to schedule Preventative Jobs: Schedule By Days, Schedule By Meter or Schedule By Days/Meter.  See Scheduling concepts for more information.

Schedule Type: If Schedule by Days is selected above then you can choose between fixed or floating. Meter and Days/Meter jobs have to be floating. Should a task be fixed or floating?  It depends on the task.  The following examples illustrate when to use fixed and floating.

• Fixed Example:  Hanging Christmas lights.  The task is scheduled for Dec 10th.  If you do not hang the lights until Dec 24th this year, you would still want the job scheduled for Dec 10th the next year.
  
• Float Example:  Change Oil every 60 days.  The job is scheduled for June 5th, August 4th, etc… If you change the oil on July 10th instead of June 5th you would not want to change the oil again on August 4th. If the task is float, Job Cal Plus will automatically adjust the August 4th due date to September 9th.

Freq in Days: Number of days between work orders

Freq in Meter: Number of Meter reading units (i.e. Hours, Miles, counts, etc...) between work orders. 

Next Due Day: Displays the next time the work order is due. 

Next Due Meter: Displays what the meter reading must reach for the work order to be due.
