Creating routes

You can create a route to list all assets of the same type, all assets in a certain location, or both. For example, an inspection route might list all fire extinguishers in a plant, or all safety equipment in a building.

Procedure

  1. In the Routes application, click New Route.
  2. If the Route field is empty, specify a value.
  3. Select a route option to specify the type of work orders to be generated when the route is applied to a work order:
    Option Description
    Child Work Orders A child work order is generated for each route stop.
    Entries in the Work Order's Multi Asset, Location, and CI Table A single work order is generated for all the assets and locations for all the route stops.
    Work Order Tasks A task work order is generated for each route stop.
  4. If you select the Child Work Orders option or the Work Order Tasks option, you can select the Route Stops Inherit Status Changes check box to simultaneously update the status of all child work orders or task work orders. Otherwise, clear that check box.
  5. Create one or more route stops:
    1. Click New Row.
    2. In the Location field or the Asset field, specify a value. If you select the Child Work Orders option or the Work Order Tasks option, the assets and locations on all route stops must belong to the site associated with the route. To select locations or assets from a list, perform one of the following actions:

  7. If the IBM® Maximo® Linear Asset Manager license is installed and you specified a linear asset in the Asset field, additional fields appear. Complete the fields in the Details section and the Linear Segment Details section as needed.
