Note: This feature is not supported on tablet devices. This field is disabled when the value in the ML Type field contains Character. A rule exists on this field that will compare the value you enter in the Maximum Target Value field with the value you enter in the Minimum Target Value field. If you enter a value in the Minimum Target Value field that is greater than the value in the Maximum Target Value field, a message will appear, indicating that the value must be less than the value in the Maximum Target Value.

This field is disabled when the ML Type field contains Character. A rule exists on this field that will compare the value you enter in the Maximum Valid Value field with the value you enter in the Minimum Valid Value field. If you enter a value in the Minimum Valid Value field that is greater than the value in the Maximum Valid Value field, a message will appear, indicating that the value must be less than the value in the Maximum Valid Value.

Non-Compliance Date Interval	Numeric	It is the Non Compliance Date Interval (in days) added to Next Date to get the Non-Compliance Date.	This field is not populated automatically. If Non Compliance Date Interval is absent, then Next Compliance Date value is populated as: Next Date + Schedule Interval.
Product	Character	The product produced by the piece of equipment that is associated with this checkpoint.	On the datasheet, this field appears as a cell. You can enter a value directly in the Product cell. You can use this field to differentiate which checkpoint is relevant depending on the current product for equipment that is used to produce multiple products. The field would be used as a filter in a customized download query to include only the relevant checkpoints depending on the current product. This feature is only supported for Windows CE mobile devices that use a customizable download query. Note: This feature is not supported on tablet devices.

You can select a value from the list. This field is disabled if the ML Type field contains the value Character.

Operator Rounds Recommendation Records

Operator Rounds Recommendation records are created by mobile device users to communicate maintenance or follow-up inspection requirements based on the observed conditions of checkpoints on a Route. Recommendations can be created linked to a specific checkpoint and the related asset, or as standalone recommendations that are linked to the Equipment or Functional Location only.

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. For more information, refer to the Site Filtering section of the documentation.

Note: When configuring offline forms, be careful to include only fields where field level rules are not used. In particular, fields that are required and disabled should be avoided. In many cases, field level rules may be replaced by field behaviors, which are supported in offline forms.

This topic provides an alphabetical list and description of the fields that exist for the Operator Rounds Recommendation family. The information in the table reflects the baseline state and behavior of these fields. This list is not comprehensive; instead, it is limited to field behavior that differs from General Recommendation fields.
