Path: Transactions > Grounds > Grounds Routes
The Grounds Routes window is used to create a grounds route for Routine and Project Tasks.. You can print a Summary or Detail route and give the printout to the assigned groundskeeper to use as a work sheet. Note that crews are used if your organization uses team cleaning.
The required fields above the grid are a Code, a Description of the Route, and the Route Supervisor Name; however, you can establish others, such as Shift.
An alert icon tells you that the Route has no associated inspections.
The parent rows in the grid show the identifying information for a location as well as the number of minutes spent performing the Tasks for the given area by day as well as a weekly total. The Tasks themselves are visible when you expand the Tasks associated with the Area in child rows.
How to Create a Grounds Route
To create a Route for a groundsman from the Grounds Routes window:
- Choose Add on the WebTMA toolbar.
- Complete the required and elective fields.
- Choose the Add Area link at the top of the grid. Note: If you enter a Facility on the Area Selection flyout that opens, WebTMA filters the Buildings list to reflect only the Buildings linked to the selected Facility.
- Mark the desired areas on the Area Selection flyout grid.
- Choose the Add Selected button.
- Select Save on the WebTMA toolbar.
PMs Tab
On the PMs Tab, a preventive maintenance schedule can be assigned. The Task Description column displays the Task Description from the Grounds Template. This column shows the contents of the Description field from Organization > Task > Records / Identity Tab. Note that the Preventive Maintenance Tasks are different from the Tasks defined using the Grounds Tasks window.
A standard WebTMA Task must be associated with the newly created PM schedule line. There are no meter-based Grounds PMs.
Other than these exceptions, the PMs Tab follows the same rules as other PMs.
If a Grounds Route is inactivated, all PMs associated with the Route are inactivated as well.
See Preventive Maintenance and related topics for full information about PMs.
