I can't find documentation to explain this: I'm still experimenting with Job Plans, and with Maximo Scheduler also in play there are fields on the Job Plan and Work Order that are exposed. The ones I'm curious about at the moment are checkboxes "Requires Asset Maintenance Window" and "Requires Location Maintenance Window."
Sounds simple enough in concept, but where the rubber meets the road, how does this get implemented? I don't see a "Create Maintenance Window" action on the Work Order. . .? I kind of assume this has something to do with Assignments (on the Work Order's Assignments tab) and/or Appointment Book Assignments, but I can't verify that. How do you actually make a Maintenance Window? Also, does it actually prevent something if you don't make a Maintenance Window?
While at it, I have the same basic questions for the "Requires Asset Downtime" and "Requires Location Downtime" options on the Job Plan. (These are also Scheduler-specific options.)
FWIW, I did also experiment with the "Appointment Required" checkbox (another Scheduler-specific field), and so far found that I was able to complete the work order without doing anything special to make an appointment. I'm just really struggling to grasp what extra functionality these fields are supposed to add.
