How to Use the Calendar View for Work Orders

A calendar view is provided in release R11h for work orders. It allows planners and supervisors to view work orders for a month, week or day in calendar views. 

• ​Menu: Work Order | Open | WO Calendar
  

1. Objects in Calendar

The calendar includes two data objects:

• Open Work Orders
  • Either actual start or scheduled start must be defined for a WO to show in a calendar.
  • The actual start time, or scheduled start time (used when actual start time is empty) is within the calendar time range, or the scheduled finish time is.
• WO Events
  • WO events are time off entries with "WO Calendar" checked.
  • Menu: Schedule | Open | Site Time Off | Create an event, or "Add Event" menu from WO Calendar.
• Open WOs and time off events are shown in different colors: blue for WO, and purple for events.
  • Both colors can be customized via client configuration file. Contact Calem Support to request color customization.

​2. Calendar Filter

The open work orders in the calendar can be filtered by work order categories and sites.

• Click "Filter" in the calendar to launch the filter screen.
• The filter screen includes filters created by the login user.
• Create a filter to add work order categories to include in the calendar
• A default filter can be configured so the calendar opens by the default one.
• Work orders that have been done (completed, accepted, closed, canceled, disapproved) are not included in the calendar. 
• The filter can be configured to include data from all sites, or just selective sites.

• Click "+" to add a new filter.
  • Set "All Site" checked to get data from all sites accessible to the login user
• Click a filter row to open it. If "Default" flag is set the filter will be applied when the user launches the calendar.

Click "Add Event" in the calendar to add a new WO event.

• ​Use the lookup button to pick a start date.
• The end date will be set to the start date if left empty.
• Add a subject note for the event such as Site Inspection
