Green areas and partial areas in your VertiGIS FM Greenspaces implementation can be maintained using inspections (green areas) and maintenance orders (partial areas). Inspections and orders are assigned to an employee and closed when the associated work or inspection has been completed.

Used to monitor green areas, inspections involve assessing the condition of the green area and ensuring it is in a safe, working order. Orders are similar to inspections but typically involve maintenance work as opposed to condition assessments. Orders are created for partial areas within a green area, but not for a green area itself.

Orders and maintenance strategies created for assets managed in other VertiGIS FM products work differently. Refer to Orders in the VertiGIS FM Maintenance documentation for more information.

Inspections and orders are generated according to intervals that use data entered in various catalogs in the VertiGIS FM administration. Alternatively, you can manually create individual inspections or orders as standalone events. Users in the field can then complete individual inspections and orders generated for a specific green area or partial area within the green area.

For green areas, you can set up intervals that schedule inspections or manually create the inspections. For partial areas, orders are programmatically generated using the partial area's properties. You can also manually create order intervals or individual orders for a partial area.

Interval Catalogs

Refer below for a full list of catalogs in which you must enter data to establish maintenance intervals for green areas and partial areas.

Create Orders Based on Damage Entries

In VertiGIS FM Greenspaces, you can also create new orders using existing damage entries that have been recorded in the system. Employees assigned the order can see a link to the originating damage entry when they open the order.

By following this procedure, you can create multiple orders for multiple damage entries at the same time. Each order must have the same Type of Maintenance Order template selected in the Type menu.

Order Created Based on Damage Entry

To Create an Order Based on Damage Entries

1.Navigate to the Playground Management search page.

2.Under Objects, click Damage.

3.Select the damage entries based on which you want to create new orders, and then click the Order Creation () icon. A new order will be created for each damage entry you select, but each one must have the same Type of Maintenance Order selected.

4.Click the > button in the Type menu and select an order template. Selectable options are saved in the Type of Maintenance Order catalog.

5.Click Apply to All. New orders will be created for each of the damage entries listed in the Adopted Elements section.
