Conditions Tab
For each Condition that is configured, a Repair Request will be generated in B2W Maintain.
Note: We highly recommend that your template be completely designed and built before defining these conditions. Once your template is designed and built, it will be much easier to go through and build out each condition needed or wanted to generate a Repair Request in B2W Maintain.
Note: For those who are familiar with building an Alert under the Alerts area, this will feel very similar.
For each Condition you define, configure the following:
- (Required) Define the description of the Repair Request.
- Type in a description.This will be the title of your Repair Request.
- (Required) Define the condition that will trigger a Repair Request.
- You can select one or more components to define a simple or complex condition.
- Type
- Allow Form Filler to Select ‘Type" – Select this option to allow the Form Filler to select the Type.This list will be the same list of Types found in B2W Maintain.
- Pre-Defined – If a pre-defined option is selected here, this will be auto populated into the Repair Request and the Form Filler will not be able to modify this option
- Priority
- Allow Form Filler to Select ‘Priority’ – Select this option to allow the Form Filler to select the Priority. This list will be the same list of Priorities found in B2W Maintain.
- Pre-Defined – If a pre-defined option is selected here, this will auto populate into the Repair Request and the Form Filler will not be able to modify this option.
- Problem Code
- Allow Form Filler to Select ‘Problem Code’ – Select this option to allow the Form Filler to select the Problem Code. This list will be the same list of Problem Codes found in B2W Maintain.
- Pre-Defined – If a pre-defined option is selected here, this will auto populate into the Repair Request and the Form Filler will not be able to modify this option.
Click OKAY to minimize the Condition once you finish defining it.
You can create multiple Conditions for a single Template. Remember, each Condition generates one Repair Request in B2W Maintain.
A green check mark will appear next to the expand collapse icon for each Condition that has been configured correctly.
A warning triangle will appear for Conditions that are missing required criteria.
Make sure to save your configured Repair Request Workflow. Once you are ready for Repair Requests to start going to B2W Maintain from B2W Inform, publish your template
