Specify Organization Options

You use the Other Organization Options dialog box to specify several settings that apply to an organization.

Note: These are "other" organization options because the Work Type and Edit Rules options also apply to organizations.

To specify the organization options:

  1. In the Organizations (SP) application, select the organization for which you want to specify the options.

  2. From the Select Action menu, select Work Order Options, then select Other Organization Options.

  1. Specify the options as needed. Refer to the discussion of each option, below, for more information.

  2. Click OK.

Default Downtime Start

This option specifies which date and time will appear by default in the Start field when the system displays the Downtime Report dialog box.

Set Actual Start Date

This option determines the actual start date on a work order.

Display Warranty Status?

By default, the system displays a warranty message when a user enters an asset under warranty on a work order. If you do not want a warranty message displayed, clear the check box.

Display Downtime Report Prompt upon WO Completion for Asset in a 'Down' Status?

Select this check box if you want the system to display the Change Asset Status page after a user completes or closes a work order when the asset's status is still down. The user can then change the status, or leave it as is. If downtime was already reported, this page does not appear.

Clear Material Reservation When WO Status Changes

Specify when to clear the material reservation for a work order. Choose to clear it when the work order changes to Complete or to Closed (the default).

Display Duplicate Problem Warning

This option specifies whether the system displays the Duplicate Problem Display dialog box when a duplicate problem is reported on an asset or location. By default the system displays the warning for both asset and location. Clear the On Asset? and/or On Location? check boxes if you do not want the system to display the dialog box.
