Define Vehicle Condition

Explanation

Use this activity to define conditions for vehicles. Vehicle conditions are used for historical and statistical purposes to monitor the amount of time that a vehicle has been in or out of operation. The vehicle condition is typically changed when a maintenance task has been finished. When you enter the possible vehicle condition codes, you link the conditions to an action for setting the vehicle condition automatically. The actions are connected to starting and finishing tasks.

Prerequisites

If you want the vehicle's condition code to be automatically updated when tasks are distributed and finished on a serial, you must specifically define this. For more information, refer the online help file Verify or Adjust Default Object Properties. 

System Effects

• The condition of the vehicle is automatically changed (if this was defined) between the vehicle condition defined as Set when first task is started and the vehicle condition defined as Set when last task is finished.
• Vehicles can be historically and statistically monitored.
