medTester Tasks

Path: Organization > Task > Records

Detailed maintenance Tasks and PM procedures are stored with Task records. Each record has a unique Code, Description, PM procedure, or checklist (depending on whether it is a PM type Task). The record also includes the estimated time required to complete a Task.

Use the Task window to create a Task for each type of Equipment that will be monitored with the medTester.

How to Add medTester Tasks

Path: Organization > Task > Records

From the Task window in Add mode:

1. Enter a Code. This is a unique numeric identifier. medTester requirements direct that the code cannot exceed four digits or 9999; however, the code can be alphanumeric. medTester does not recognize these illegal characters: tilde ( ~ ), comma ( , ), pound sign ( # ), and quotation marks ( " ).
2. Select Type Description. For medTester Tasks, group all the Tasks. Use a type such as medTester PM or medTester Check.
3. Enter a short Type Description. The names should closely relate to the Equipment for which you are building a Task checklist. For example, Centrifuge or Centr Safety Ck. This requires some creativity because medTester limits the description to sixteen characters.
4. Mark the medTester Task check box in the Option Settings section to designate this as a medTester Task. Unless this is done, the software will not associate a given Task with the medTester link module.
5. Complete other fields as needed.
6. Click the Repair Center Tab and add authorized centers.
7. Choose Save on the WebTMA toolbar.

Other fields on this window are the same as regular Tasks and are described in Task Identity Tab Fields.

medTester Task Check List

How to Create a medTester Checklist

Path: Organization > Task > Records / Task Check List Tab

NOTE: Before you create a checklist, be certain to create check items in Organization > Task > Master Check.

From the Task Check List Tab of the desired medTester Task in Edit mode:

1. Choose the Add Check link at the top of the grid to open the Task Check Entry flyout.
2. Mark the check boxes of the needed Tasks on the window.
3. Click the Add Selected button on the flyout.
4. Select Save on the WebTMA toolbar.

Be certain you have the checks in the proper order based on medTester requirements. The checks are performed in the sequence shown on this window. If needed, select one check at a time and click the Add Selected button to assure the proper order.

This checklist is sent to the medTester when medTester PMs are generated.
