Creating Ticket Schedules

When recurring preventative maintenance is required for one more assets within your digital twin, new schedules can be created to automate the ticket creation on the schedule that best fits your operations.

The details captured when creating a scheduled ticket are the same as those seen with standard tickets, but also include the ability to add one or more tasks, a feature that can be beneficial when creating tickets that may included more than 1 asset.
