Add and configure a Maintenance reporting point

A Maintenance reporting point manages how you want AVEVA™ Production Management to capture data about equipment usage.

A Maintenance reporting point has the following sub-items that you can configure:

• Capture conditions - The conditions for when to capture data.

• Fields - The equipment usage data to capture and the fields in which to store the data.

Plan where to locate Maintenance reporting points

Add a Maintenance reporting point to the folder of each piece of equipment about which you want to collect data.

Other guidelines

• The LocationIdentifier standard field is visible at the reporting point level of each Maintenance reporting point.

• The standard field definitions for the Maintenance reporting point reside under the Maintenance configuration item in the System Configuration folder.

• You can add a Maintenance reporting point to any equipment folder in the plant hierarchy.

Note: When you add a Maintenance reporting point to your project, be sure to add it in the correct location of the hierarchy.

1. In Studio, right-click an equipment folder in the plant hierarchy, point to Add Item, point to Reporting Points, and then click Maintenance. A new Maintenance reporting point appears.

   

2. Rename the reporting point with a meaningful name.
