Hello, 

Does anyone know a way to manage reoccurring work orders to pause or not populate through certain calendar periods like holidays. 

When creating the work order as reoccurring it gives me options for start date as well as frequency of weeks and days from the completion of the work order.  I am looking for a finish date of a reoccurring work order as this would allow me to leave my calendar empty when the factory is not operating. 

Thank you. 

Brent.

You can skip recurring work orders so they don’t count as completed or past due. You can also modify the due dates to account for the holiday/time-off periods.
Here’s a quick gif showing a trick on how to bulk edit WO due dates through the table view:

Hi Brent,

 

One of our customers had a similar issue. They wanted to autoskip (I don´t recommend it) some PMs so we could measure completed PMs agains cancelled/skipped PMs every month.

There is a function to autoskip PMs but it doesn´t apear on your end. You will need to reach out your account manager since autoskip it´s a paid feature, or at least it´s not included right now on the core tier.

Hope this gives you another insight.

 

Cheers,

How do you remove a nested recurring work order? I have a few assets that are no longer functional that need to be removed from a PM - The work orders are “child” work orders for similar assets that all use the same procedure.
