(Source for the dropdown is the code table “Department”)

  1. Job Source: Allows you to indicate where the job comes from. Typical values would be “Makers user manual”, “ISM Requirement” etc.
  2. Assigned to: Select the “Crew type” that is responsible for the job, assigning “crew types” to jobs will make it easier for the different crew to find their jobs in the Due list.   
  3. Class job:  To create a class job the component the job is created for must be marked as a class component. Once the job has been marked as a class job, a field for the jobs class code will become available. By default it will copy the components class code, but it can be changed if required.
  4. Work Permit: If the job requires a work permit, tick the work permit check box. A work permit must first be attached to the job before, you can turn this on. Adding a work permit is done on the jobs “Work permits” tab. 
  5. Date Interval:  To set a date interval for the job, tick the date interval check box.

Once the job is signed out the next due will be set to “sign out date” + “set interval” m. Hour interval:  A job can be configured to become due based upon the components running hours. Tick the “Hour Interval” checkbox to set a counter interval. The system will not allow you to set an “hour interval” unless the component, or one of its parents, is set to receive running hours. See chapter “Running hours” for a description to do this.  

  1. Interval (Hours): Enter the amount of running hours for the interval
  2. Next due (Hours):  By default this will be set to “current running hours” + “interval”, but can be set to a lower amount if desired. Once the job has been signed out the next due will be set to “Current running hours” + “interval”.
  3. Last Done:  This field is not editable by the user directly, but will be updated with the jobs last “sign out date”.
  4. Job Description: This is the “Standard job” description, and it is not editable by users, in order to change this description, you will need to change the “standard job” description. Keep in mind that this job description may be shared with all other vessels, and any changes to it will also affect all other jobs, based upon this standard job.
  5. Local Description: Since a standard are shared between all vessels you may not be able to add all local considerations in account. The local description can be used to specify the jobs in more detail and taking in account local conditions and adaptations.
  6. Comment from last job done:  When users sign out the job they can enter a comment on the job, the last comment entered for the job will appear in this field.
