9.12 CheckPoint™ User Manual IM8000
Field Description
User Time and
Company Time Enter the start time and end time of the event in the User Time fields. The User Time
fields are set to your time zone (i.e., the user currently viewing the screen).
CheckPoint™ automatically converts the time to the time zone of the Company Site
you are currently managing and displays it in the Company Time fields.
For example, Mark at Worldwide Industrial is in California. His time zone is Pacific
(GMT -8:00). He has several Company Sites he monitors using CheckPoint™. Ohio
(GMT -5:00) is one of them. He wants to add Planned Downtime to a welder at this
Company Site for 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM (Ohio time). In the User Time fields, he clicks
the clock icon ( ) next to From and selects 6:00 AM from the menu. Then he clicks
the clock icon ( ) next to the To field and selects 9:00 AM from the menu.
CheckPoint™ automatically displays 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM next to Company Time.
Start Date In the Start Date section, you tell CheckPoint™ what date to use to begin this Planned
Downtime. You have the following options:
ƒ The event has no starting date: This option is available only on repeating
patterns. If there is no specific start date for the pattern (e.g., weekly
scheduled maintenance), you can choose this option.
ƒ The event will be effective on ____: If you want to specify an effective date for
this Planned Downtime (e.g., you’re preparing CheckPoint™ for a maintenance
program that will start next month), you can enter a date in this field.
End Date If you choose a repeating pattern for your Planned Downtime, you need to tell
CheckPoint™ when that pattern ends (or that it doesn’t end). In the End Date field,
select one of the following options:
ƒ The event continues forever: When you select this option, CheckPoint™ never
stops applying this Planned Downtime.
ƒ The event ends after X occurrences: If the Planned Downtime occurs a finite
number of times, you can tell CheckPoint™ to stop applying this Planned
Downtime after a specific number of times.
ƒ The event stops on ______: If the Planned Downtime stops on a specific date,
you can enter that date with this option.
Repeat Settings If your Planned Downtime is an event that occurs on a regular basis at a specific time
(e.g., Monthly Scheduled Maintenance), you can use the Repeat Settings to set up that
recurrence. You have the following options: None, Hourly, Daily, Weekly, Monthly and
Yearly. For details on how these settings behave, please see page 2.10 under Repeat
Settings.
