To Create Maintenance Records

You can create and manage maintenance records for several feature classes. Use this function to add maintenance information to a feature. Maintenance information is stored in the Maintenance feature class (EL_MAINTENANCE).

To create maintenance records

1. Open the form for the feature class for which you want to manage maintenance information, for example, Breaker.
2. Click Function Create Maintenance.

   You can also click Create Maintenance on the Related Tables tab.

The Maintenance feature class form is opened with a new record. Note that in the Details tab, the relation (FID_*) to the feature has already been assigned.

For example, in the General tab, enter the Maintenance Period, and the Maintenance Date. Then, the Next Maintenance Date is calculated by a feature rule. The Compute Next Maintenance Date rule calculates the date using the maintenance period and the date of the last maintenance:

MAINTENANCE_DATE + MAINTENANCE_PERIOD = MAINTENANCE_NEXT_DATE.
