Calibration Task Records

Calibration Task records store details about a calibration task that you should perform. Specifically, these records store scheduled dates for the next time calibrations should be performed.

This family is enabled for site filtering, which means that records in this family can be assigned to a specific site, and will then only be accessible to users who are assigned to the same site and have the appropriate license and family privileges. See the Site Filtering section of the documentation for more information on using this feature.

This topic provides an alphabetical list and description of the fields that exist for the Calibration Task family. The information in the table reflects the baseline state and behavior of these fields. The list is limited, however, to details that are specific to Calibration Tasks. If a field in the Calibration Task family works the same way as it does in the root Task family, that field is excluded from the table.

Field	Data Type	Description	Behavior and Usage
Calibration Template ID	Character	The ID of the Calibration Template that is linked to this Calibration Task.	This field is disabled and will contain the ID of the Calibration Template when you link a task to the Calibration Template.
Desired Interval	Numeric	A number indicating how often the task should be completed.	This number must be between the Min Interval and Max Interval values. Before you can save a value in this field, the Last Date field must contain a value. The next date is calculated automatically using both the last date and desired interval. The units that you select for the desired interval are also applicable to the Max Interval and Min Interval.
Last Date	Date	The date on which the associated Calibration Event is closed.	By default, this field contains the date on which the Calibration Task is created. After you close the Calibration Event linked to this Calibration Task, this field is disabled and populated with the date on which the Calibration Event is closed. This value is also populated in the Date Executed field in the Task Execution record that is linked to this Calibration Task.
Max Date	Date	The latest date by which you must perform the calibration task.	This field is disabled and calculated as follows: Max Date = Last Date + Max Interval
Max Interval	Numeric	The maximum interval to perform the calibration task. For example, if the value in this field is 30 days, it implies that you must perform the calibration task within 30 days from the day you last performed this task.	You can enter a value manually.
Min Date	Date	The earliest date on which you can perform the calibration task if it is a recurring task.	This field is disabled and calculated as follows: Min Date = Last Date + Min Interval
Min Interval	Numeric	The minimum interval to perform the calibration task. For example, if the value in this field is 15 days, it implies that you must perform the calibration task after 15 days from the day you last performed this task.	You can enter a value manually.
Modifiable	Boolean	Indicates whether the Calibration Task can be modified.	This check box can be cleared or selected by: A Security User with Update and Insert privileges to the Task family. -or- A member of the MI Calibration Administrator Security Group. If you clear this check box, all the fields other than the following are disabled: Task State Task Assigned To Route Number Reoccurring If you modify the value in any of the fields in the preceding list, the Modifiable check box is automatically selected. At that point, you can modify the fields that were previously disabled.
Next Date	Date	The suggested date by when you must perform the calibration task. For example, if the value in this field is 20 days, it is suggested that you perform the calibration task after 20 days from the day you last performed this task.	This field is disabled and calculated as follows: Next Date = Last Date + Desired Interval
Rejectable	Boolean	Indicates whether the Calibration Task can be rejected.	By default, this check box is cleared, which means you cannot reject the Calibration Task.
Related Entity ID	Character	The ID of the Asset that is linked to the Calibration Task.	This field is disabled and populated automatically with the ID of the asset that is linked to the Calibration Task.
Reoccurring	Boolean	Indicates whether the task is recurring.	You can select the check box if you want the calibration task to recur.
Route Number	Character	A value that represents a route or group of tasks.	You can use this field in a query to access the tasks that are assigned to a particular route or group of tasks.
Task Assigned To	Character	The name of the person who has been assigned the task.	You can enter a value manually.
Task Description	Character	A description for the task that you should perform.	You can enter a value manually.
Task ID	Character	The ID for the task.	This field must be unique.
Task State	Character	The state associated with the Calibration Task. By default this field contains the value Proposed.	This field contains a list of states. After you save a new Calibration Task, this value is changed automatically from Proposed to Scheduled without change.
Task Type	Character	The type of task. By default, this field contains the value CALIBRATION.	This field contains a list of values from the Task Type family that correspond to types of calibrations (e.g., CALIBRATION: AUTOMATED, ANALOG, 11 UP/DN, LINEAR, DCV/DCV). You can select a value other than the default one.
Unconstrain Min/Max Dates	Boolean	Indicates whether you can override the next date.	When you select this check box, the values in the Min Date and Max Date fields are cleared.
