3. Specify whether to generate a work order upon all of the triggers being satisfied, or any of the triggers, by selecting the corresponding option in the tab:
   
4. Click the Add icon at the bottom left of the table:
   
5. In the Scheduled Maintenance Trigger window, select Generate Work Order By Meter Reading Trigger:
   
6. Do one of the following:
   
   • Select Every if you want the trigger to occur at an interval (for example, every 500 kilometres recorded on the meter).
   • Select When if you want the trigger to occur at a certain range (for example, whenever the reading is less than 500 kilometers).
7. Select the unit to be used.
8. Do one of the following: 
   • If you selected Every:
     1.  Enter the interval and start value for the meter reading. 
     2. Select End By and enter the end reading, or select No End Reading if you want the trigger to remain active indefinitely.
     3. Select Fixed Schedule or Floating Schedule.
        

        Note

        Fixed triggers generate work orders on a fixed schedule, regardless of when the previous work order was generated or closed. Floating triggers generate work orders depending on the specified interval and when the previous work order was generated or closed.

     1. Select either Reading is Less than or Reading is Greater than.
     2. Enter the desired value.
