Q13720 - INFO: Priorities Entry

Allows you to setup Priority lookup tables for Equipment and Tasks.  The lookup tables set the available options on the Priority pull down list on the Equipment and Task Entry forms.     

 

OVERVIEW:

Equipment and Task's can have a priority assigned to them. A Work Order's priority is calculated by multiplying the Equipment's and Task's priorities together.  For example, a booster pump that supplies water to a part of the city and has no backup would be a high priority piece of equipment.  However, the task to clean the booster pump would have a low priority (i.e. if we don't clean it, it probably won't break down).  The task to lube the pump would be a medium priority task as it could cause a failure.  The Work Order's priority is the Equipment Priority X the Task Priority.  Therefore, the work order to clean the booster would have a priority of 3 (3 X 1).  The work order to lube the booster pump would be 6 (3 X 2). 

This form is used to set the lookup values for the Priorities.  For example, you may want to add a 4th priority "Critical" with a value of 4.
