Interval

This section stores intervals that can be associated with service levels to determine how frequently orders of a given kind will be generated based on the option selected in a partial area's Service Level menu. Intervals in this section are associated with entries from the service level catalog in the entry for a Type of Maintenance Order catalog.

Each entry in this catalog must be associated with a name and a time interval that corresponds to it. You can specify these properties when you add or edit a new entry.

Interval Catalog Entries

The interval associated with each entry comprises a number and a unit of time (days, weeks, months, and years). For example, the interval for an entry named "Annually" should have 1 entered and Years selected to tell the system to generate one order per year when the interval's associated service level is selected.

Maintenance period

The Maintenance Period catalog lists entries that determine the times of the year that orders associated with a given Type of Maintenance template will be generated for green areas assigned the associated Type. Green area maintenance tasks vary from season to season, and several types of orders only need to be completed during a specific part of the year. For example, leaf removal only needs to be completed in the fall, and snow removal only needs to be completed in the winter.

Each entry in this catalog requires a Name (for example, Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter), a From date, and an Until date. For example, you could create an entry for leaf removal in the autumn months, which spans from September 21 to December 21.

For partial areas associated with order intervals through their Area Type property, orders will be generated according to the interval associated with the service level selected in the partial area's Service Level menu.
