Plant Scheduled Task

When you create a scheduled task in MPM, you need to tell Micronet how often and on what dates the task should be performed.

To create scheduled dates for a task:

Micronet displays the Scheduled Service Dates screen.

	Field	Value
	Service Cycle	Select a service cycle. The options are: Days Weeks Months Years Selected Months.
	Period	Enter the number of Service Cycle types between each scheduled service date. For example, if the plant scheduled task is for one year and you select a Service Cycle of Months with a Period of 3 (i.e. every three months), Micronet creates four Scheduled Service Dates for the year.
	Next Service Due	Enter or select the first occurrence or scheduled service date.
	[Months]	If you selected Selected Months in the Service Cycle field, check the box for each month in which the scheduled task is to be performed.

Micronet creates the scheduled service dates and lists them on the Scheduled Service Dates screen.
