Resetting a maintenance target essentially acknowledges that the service has been performed and restarts the counter for the next service interval. For example, a motor vehicle requires an oil change every 3000 miles. When the odometer on the vehicle reaches 3000 miles, the first oil change is performed. At this point, the maintenance target should be reset so that the proper notification occurs for the second oil change (at 6000 miles). Translated into terms of the Maintenance application, the motor vehicle is the Model, the data item is the odometer reading, and the maintenance item is called Oil Change. The Count Interval is 3000, and its first Target Count is 3000.
The Reset Target Values window allows you to reset the Target (Count) value for a maintenance item manually. This window displays the following information:
o Asset name
o Current Counter Value
o Current Target Value
o Next Target Value
It then provides the option for you to reset the Current Target Value to the Next Target Value.
Note: Using the Reset action in the Maintenance Asset dashboard has the same effect as running a configured Reset Maintenance Item action from the Actions module of the Service Asset dashboard.
When you reset a maintenance item, the new target count is reset by adding the current value of the maintenance item to the interval value. For example, a motor vehicle must be serviced every 3000 miles, The current odometer reading of the vehicle is 7500 miles. It is due for maintenance at 9000 miles. At the time of servicing, the Interval is 3000, the target count is 9000, and the current value is 7500. After servicing the vehicle, the technician must reset the values for the next maintenance. After resetting, the Interval remains 3000, but the target count becomes 10,500 (the sum of the current value, 7500, and the interval, 3000).
Similarly, when you reset a maintenance item based on the date, the new target date is the sum of the current date and the number of interval days. For example, an asset requires service every 30 days. It is due for service on 03/15/07, and the current date is 03/03/07. At the time of servicing, the interval is 30 days, the current date is 03/03/07, and the target date is 03/15/07. After servicing, the technician must reset the values for the next maintenance. After the reset, the interval is 30 days, but the target date becomes 04/02/07.
If you displayed this help topic from the Reset Target window, start with Step 5 in the following procedure.
1. From the Maintenance home page, search for the asset whose Targets you want to reset.
2. In the search results table, click the name of the asset to display its Maintenance Asset dashboard.
3. In the table of Maintenance Items, locate the line containing the Maintenance Item for which you want to reset the Target Count.
4. From the Actions column, select Reset.
5. In the Reset Target window, click OK to reset the current Target (Count) value to the Next Target Value for the maintenance item. Alternatively, click Cancel to close the window without saving your change.
6. To verify your changes, check the Audit Log below the table of maintenance items. For a Reset event, the Audit Log includes the following details:
§ Current date and time
§ Maintenance item name
§ Previous Target value
§ Current Target value (the one you just entered)
§ Previous Target date
§ Current
Target date (the one you just entered)
