The purpose of an Isolation Template is to provide a template for new isolation orders, so that establishment and re-establishment instructions do not have to be entered manually each time an isolation order is created. The isolation template also ensures that the isolation orders are defined according to a certain standard.
On an isolation template you define how part of a facility should be shut down and started up again, so that maintenance work can be carried out under safe conditions. The establishment instructions on the isolation template defines in what sequence the equipment objects or linear assets should be shut down, and if the equipment object or linear asset should be in a certain position (i.e., reduced speed etc). The re-establishment instructions define in what sequence the equipment objects or linear assets should be started up again, and in which position the equipment object or linear asset should be in (e.g., started, full speed etc).
Note: In order to define what position the equipment object should be in when entering establishment or re-establishment instructions, a position type (that holds the positions) must have been defined for the object type (of the associated equipment object). In order to define what position the linear asset should be in when entering establishment or re-establishment instructions, a position type (that holds the positions) must have been defined for the linear asset type (of the associated linear asset)
To create isolation orders from isolation templates, the isolation template has to be approved. A revision can be created for an approved isolation template to incorporate necessary amendments. Once all changes are completed and the revision is approved, it becomes available for use when creating new isolation orders. Upon approval of the new revision, the previous isolation template revision is automatically marked as obsolete.
