In the Roadway module, the pane displays the road section(s) where the activity of the selected work order will be performed. When multiple locations are displayed, the Accomplishment (Portion) column shows a decimal number corresponding to the percentage of the amount of effort to be expended at that location. (For example, 0.25 in this column indicates that 25% of the work effort will be expended at this location.)
Roadway Module Right-click Commands
When you right-click this pane in the Roadway module, the system displays a shortcut menu. This menu contains the following commands along with the common commands:
- Edit Location by GPS: This command displays a dialog box so you can manually enter a location that you obtain from a GPS device. The dialog box contains four fields: two for longitude (from and to) and two for latitude (from and to). After you supply this information and close the dialog box, the system finds the route, mile point from , and mile point to values that correspond to the entered coordinates and displays them in the selected record.
- Find Inv Item: This command provides a computer-assisted way to change the inventory item of the currently selected record. It displays a dialog box, which lists all inventory items of the work order's asset type. To change the inventory item (in the underlying pane from which the Find Inv Item command was activated), select an inventory item and click OK. To exit this dialog box without changing the work order information, click Cancel.
- Insert All Inv Items from This Location: This command finds all inventory items within the route and mile point boundaries of the selected record and inserts each of them as separate records in this pane. The system inserts the name of an inventory item in the Inventory Item Name column as a hyperlink. You can click this link to display a new window with more detailed information about the inventory item.
- Insert Inv Item(s) from Map: This command displays the GIS (Geographic Info System) Explorer window, from which you can select the inventory item(s) for which the selected work order will be performed. The active layer in the GIS Explorer window is the layer associated with the asset type that was selected when the work order was created: which means you will only be able to use the layer associated with the work order's asset type to select asset-specific inventory items.
Next to the GIS Explorer window is a pane that lists the inventory items selected in the GIS Explorer window. This pane provides a shortcut menu that is displayed by right-clicking the pane. This shortcut menu contains the common commands along with the following special commands:- Add to Selected WO: After selecting one or more inventory item records, this command adds the selected inventory items as records in the Location tab of the Completion window. The window remains open so you can select additional inventory items to add to the selected work order.
- Highlight Feature: This command causes the selected inventory item to be highlighted in the map.
- Insert New Inventory Element: This command is described below.
- Insert Location(s) from Map: This command behaves in the same way as the Insert inv Item(s) from Map command described above, with the exception that the Routes layer is the active layer. This allows you to select one or more locations where the selected work order will be performed.
Insert New Inventory Element: This command allows you to enter a new inventory element directly into the pane. When you select this command, the system displays the inventory elements attribute window. Complete this window and select OK to place the new inventory element in the Location tab.
Note: This command replaces the selected record. If this is not what you want to happen, first insert a blank record in the pane and then right-click this new record to select the command to insert a new inventory element.- Set From Offset by GPS: When the Online GPS Functionality feature is included in your application, this command is available. Provided the GpsGate Client is installed and running and has obtained a GPS fix on your location (as indicated by the green network symbol in the system tray), this command inserts your current location in the From Offset field of the selected record.
Set To Offset by GPS: This command functions similarly to the Set From Offset by GPS command described above, with the exception that it inserts your current location in the To Offset field of the selected record rather than the From Offset field.
Note: GpsGate Client is freeware that is available from Franson Technology AB. If you do not have it on your machine, the system will ask if you wish to install it when you select one of the commands. See your System Administrator for more information.
Facilities/Signal Modules Right-click Commands
In the Facilities and Signals modules, only a single inventory item can be associated with a work order. This means that the Work Target pane displays only one record and the Accomplishment (Portion) column will be set to 1. It also means that location information cannot be edited in this pane.
When you right-click this pane in the Facilities or Signals module, the system displays a shortcut menu. This menu contains the following command along with the common command:
- Find Element: This command provides a computer-assisted way to change the inventory item of the currently selected record. It displays a dialog box, which lists all inventory items of the work order's asset type. To change the inventory item (in the underlying pane from which the Find Element command was activated), select an inventory item and click OK. To exit this dialog box without changing the work order information, click Cancel.
