Key Columns in the Due List

Most of the columns found in the grids are, found as fields on the item listed and should be rather easy to identify. The due list is no exception but there are some of the columns that might be good to explain in details, since they are key columns in this grid.

     An excerpt of the due list, in this example the “All jobs” check box have been ticked, which explains why      it  also includes jobs that are not currently due. 

1. This column a graphical representations for the job type in column b).

Not all job types have their own symbol. Each company to add their own job types, and we have not made symbols for them all. The ones that are available are:

                                             INS – Inspection jobs.

                                            CHK – Check jobs.

                                            LUB – Lubricate jobs.

                                           MEG – “Megger” test.

                                            OVH – Overhaul jobs.

                                              Any other job types will be represented by the flag symbol.

2. Job type: This is the job type code for the job.

(Only Included   in the screen shot to illustrate the link to the job symbols)

3. Due: This is the current due. For calendar scheduled job the job due is a represented as a date. For running hour jobs the due is an hour value.
4. Diff: This column shows the difference between the due date or counter value and todays value. For calendar based job it is the number of days the job is overdue or till its due.(.e.g. 86D = 86 days) (Overdue values will be presented as negatives)
5. Interval (Int.): is the job interval calendar scheduled jobs can have intervals of (D = days, W=weeks, M= months, Y= years) Counter based jobs have intervals based on hours of use.
6. Window:  This column contains a graphical representation of job due status. The following symbols are used :

Under 10% of interval until due 

10-19% of interval until due

20-29% of interval until due

30-39% of interval until due 40-49% of interval until due 50-59% of interval until due

60-69% of interval until due

70-79% of interval until due

80-89% of interval until due

90-99% of interval until due

Due

Overdue

Normally you would only see the “Due” and “Overdue” window symbol in the due list. In order for the jobs with any of the other symbols to appear in the due list they would require users to either set the “Due date” filter setting ahead in time or that a prewarning value has been set for the job.  

g.    Prewarning: This is a manual set prewarning value. A job with a prewarning value will appear in the due list, before it is actually due.

• For a date scheduled job, this column will show the date for when the job will appear in the due list. This date is calculated based upon the actual due date minus the set prewarning value. For example if you look at the inspection (INS) job displayed below. You will see that the due date is 11.11.2012 and the prewarning date is set to 11.10.201. This means that this job has a prewarning value of “1 month”

  An example of a calendar scheduled  due job with a 1 month  prewarning value. 

• For a counter based job, the prewarning value will be the amount of hours, required for the job to appear in the due list. The prewarning value is calculated in the same manner as for date scheduled jobs. Due counter value minus set prewarning value. For example if you look at the job displayed below, where the

interval (Int.) is 1000 hours and the prewarning is set to 900H, which means the job has a prewarning value of 100 hours.

How to add, change and remove prewarning settings is described in the previous chapter: “Due Prewarnings and fixed intervals”
