Downtime: Asset
The Downtime sub-tab lists all downtime recorded for the asset. Each time an asset is removed from service, Maintenance Connection records the transaction. When the asset is returned to service the record is updated with the applicable return date.
Options to delete the displayed downtime records and print the Downtime History List are available from this page. Additional downtime records can also be created.
An All Levels check box is displayed at the top of the page. Selecting this check box will refresh the page with downtime records generated for all levels beneath the currently selected node of the tree. This feature allows you to view records for assets that are directly associated with the asset you are viewing, such as components stored at a lower level of the tree.
The following fields are displayed in the Downtime List:
-
Shutdown: Date and time the asset was shut down.
-
Back In-Service: Date and time the asset was returned to service.
-
WO #: Work Order ID, if the downtime was recorded on a work order.
-
Reason: Reason the asset was taken out of service; description of problem.
-
Downtime / Hrs: The days and hours of downtime, calculated when an asset is returned to service.

Select the All Levels check box.
A check mark appears inside the check box.
The page will refresh with downtime records associated with all assets beneath the currently selected node of the tree. This feature allows you to view downtime records for assets that are directly associated with the asset you are viewing, such as components stored at a lower level of the tree.
