Path: Admin > Batch Management / Custodial Inspection Generation
Use the Custodial Inspection Generation option on the Batch Management window to produce Custodial Inspections. When the batch job service finds this type of job, it looks at the Custodial Inspection Forms and determines if any should auto-generate a new Custodial Inspection.
In order for a Custodial Inspection to auto-generate, the following criteria must be met on the Custodial Inspection Form:
- Inspection record is active
- Frequency fields are populated (including Next Date)
- Default (Preferred) Repair Center is populated
- Type Code field is populated
In addition, the current date (today's) must be equal to or greater than the Next Date on the Custodial Inspection Form window.
If all the criteria above are satisfied, a new Custodial Inspection is generated.
How to Set Custodial Batch Generation
Path: Admin > Batch Management / Custodial Inspection Generation
You have the option to set the calculation for a one-time occurrence or on a recurring basis:
From Batch Management:
- Choose the Custodial Inspection Generation link.
- Set the Start At date and time. Choose a time when there is less traffic on your network.
- (Optional) Mark the Recurring Batch Job check box if you want to generate future lists automatically.
- (Optional) Select the Interval for recurring jobs. This applies to Recurring jobs.
- Choose the Finish button.
If you set a recurring batch for every day at 1:00 a.m. without an Until date, the values are calculated indefinitely (or until you edit this batch routine).
