Use this activity to create permit types which are used for creating permits. A Permit is a time limited approval/certificate, used to ensure that certain regulations or instructions are followed and/or that you have a managers approval before one work order, or a group of work orders are executed.
You can connect an isolation order to a permit. This is useful to ensure that when, for example, equipment objects need to be set to a certain position before any maintenance work can start, this is done under approved and safe conditions.
To describe the safety regulations and to add other type of instructions you can connect attributes to the permit type. In addition, you can also connect a technical class to the permit type. This technical class will be copied to all permits created from the particular permit type.
Permit types can be connected to work task templates and PM actions. When a work order is generated, a permit will be created automatically. You can also create permits directly from a work order.
