Time Interval Triggers

A Time Interval trigger activates a PM plan after a fixed time interval, measured in days. Each time interval record has a start and end age (in days from the asset's install date), which means that the frequency of PM service requests can change, depending on the age of the asset. For example, in the first year, PM service can occur every 6 months (180 days). After the first year, service calls can occur more often; for example, every 3 months (90 days).

NOTE:  The age of the asset is determined by the Install Date. For more information, see Assets View. If the Install Date is missing, the asset is considered to be 0 days old.

Although the interval could be less than 1 day, higher-level logic currently prevents triggers from firing more than once a day.
