In this example, we will look at taking a machine out of action for maintenance for a full day. In our imaginary scenario, we have an old machine that needs its pinions to be replaced, and its going to happen on the 26 May. As before on the schedule page we start with the Edit Schedule button.
No recurrence settings are needed. Note that if the machine is back up and running earlier than expected on the day we can simply disable, or delete our Breakdown event and the schedule will continue at that point with Machine Available, assuming no other Machine Unavailable events are active at the time.
NOTE In the current implementation the Schedule event Name and Machine combination must be unique. So we should delete the "breakdown" event when done with it otherwise when we next want to add a breakdown event to this machine we will need to choose a different name. It is suggested therefore that if you want to record these breakdowns for historical tracking, you append the date to the name eg "Breakdown 26may2020". Consistent naming will help when searching these events.
