PM Program and Work Task Templates

When defining a PM program, I can define the appropriate ITEM and PROCESS classes, and I can have multiple definitions in the same program. When PM Actions are generated for the programme, actions are generated for all objects and work task template connections - not just the ones linked by the process and item class. 

 

In this example, I have one process class, but two item classes.  Class 1 is linked to device 1. 

Item Class 1 selected, Device 1 is applicable

Class 2 is linked to Device 2. 

Item Class 2 selected, Device 2 is applicable. 

When I add the relevant work task templates into the PM Program, I can only select the correct WTT where the ITEM class has been selected as one of the item classes in the PM program. 

Work Task Template connection to the PM Action. 

Each Work Task template is configured for its own item class only. 

 

 

In this scenario, for each object I will have two PM Actions, one that correctly links to the object via the item and process class, and one that is incorrectly linked as the item class in the template was for the second object. 

What would be good in this situation would be for the PM Actions to be created where the object and template configuration match. 

To navigate around this, I can create a different PM Programme for each Item class and work template sets - but this defeats the point of setting up the Process/item Class combinations on the WTT and the PM Program.

Hi, the design of the PM Programs is as you describe it. I agree that it would provide a clearly greater added value if the programs could be configured in a better way.

The administrative work required today of having to create separate PM Programs for each combination of Item class and work task template would be significantly reduced if PM actions were only generated for valid combinations.

I would suggest that you post this as an Idea here in the Community as a suggestion for improvement so that it can be taken into consideration.

 

Best Regards
