Models

To upload registers to the models, see Upload registers

By entering models into a Model Register and then linking service objects to the model, you can make changes to a model and then quickly update all service objects of that model by using the function update linked service objects.

To view Models you need to have that user permission (set by a admin account).

Each model found in the Models is marked with an * after the object when searching for items to associate with the customer. This is to distinguish models from the model database provided by the system (currently a database of compressors). If you use a model database models are called Group model’s.

To add a model, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Service > Models.
  2. Click on the symbol with the +sign to the right of the search bar.
  3. Fill in the name of the model’s manufacturer and type.
    For example “Kaeser” or “Atlas Copco”. The name must be unique, so if there are several models from the same manufacturer, distinguish them using an additional name, type or number – “Kaeser 50 A”.
  4. Parts
    Articles used for the current service object can be entered here. It will then be easier to find parts when you work with orders for the service object.
    • Any replacement parts can be specified when a service object is created. Read more about this under Service object.
  5. Service interval
    Here the typical service interval for the object can be entered. Choose a name, interval, add articles for the service performed at this interval and add or select a template for service points.You can add several service intervals.
  6. Run time based
    Should the model be run time-based? If the object’s range is calendar based only, this should not be checked. If the service intervals are calculated using run time, this must be ticked.
  7. Save

Upload
Here, documents for the current object can be uploaded, spare parts lists, manuals, etc. Uploaded files are also displayed on linked service objects with the model name in parentheses.

Update linked service object

If you change something, such as service intervals, on a model, you may need to update the service objects linked to the model.

How to update linked service objects:

  1. Sign in with your admin account.
  2. Go to the detail view for the model.
  3. Click the button Update linked service object.
    A field opens where you can see changes to the model and can choose which parts you want to update (parts, intervals, counters…).
Update linked service intervals

Service intervals located on the service objects are marked in red.

If you select “Apply changes to intervals”, these service intervals will be overwritten by service intervals including parts and service points on the interval from the model.

Update linked counters

Existing counters on the service object (ie not on the model) are marked in red in the list. If you choose “Apply changes to counters”, these are removed if there are no readings on the object. To prevent this select “Keep counters with no readings.”

If there is no counter on the object, the counter from the model is added.

Delete

Click Delet at the bottom of the model. The connection to the model is removed from previously connected service objects.
