This article will teach you how to disable a preventive maintenance task.
- From the Property & Facility menu, click Settings.
- From the Settings page, navigate to the Preventive Maintenance section and click Tasks.
- From the Preventive Maintenance: Tasks page, ensure the applicable property is selected in the property filter to the left of the Task list, underneath CHOOSE FILTERS. Click the Active filter to display the current active task list for the property.
- From the Preventive Maintenance: Tasks page, click the name of the task that you desire to disable.
- From the [Task Name] page, click the Deactivate button in the upper-right corner.
- The Deactivate Task window will open, informing you whether or not the task is currently associated with any PM schedule(s). If the task is currently set as the primary task of any schedule(s), click the hyperlink for each schedule title to open the schedule and choose a new primary task.
- Note: Tasks cannot be disabled if they are listed as the primary task for a given schedule. As such, the Deactivate button will be grayed out and unavailable to click until the task has been removed as the primary task of any schedule(s).
- Once the task has been removed as the primary task of any schedule(s), click Deactivate.
- The task has now been disabled and will now appear in the Disabled filter.
- Note: If the disabled task happens to be a subtask of an active schedule, the schedule will still trigger normally with all other active primary tasks and subtasks. For your reference, the disabled subtask will be denoted with an * preceding it, both when clicking Expand on the PM: Schedules index page, as well as on the Subtasks tab of the [Schedule Name] page.
