Work Order Settings

Setting	Description
Enable third party application	Checking this value enables integration with your organizations own work order management system and tells Promis.e to make use of the data exchange database and table that you specifiy in the Database Name and Mapping table. (See below) Note: This option needs to be checked to enable the other settings in this section.
Application name	Enter the name of your organization's work order management system (i.e. SAP). The software will use this name when displaying specific warning messages that might occur when using this integration.
Use active project database server connection	Enable this option to use the current project database server. When using this database you will need to setup a data exchange table (such as the default SubstationDataExchange table) to migrate your work orders from your work order management system. A unique script (developed possibly by the project administrator) needs to be executed to migrate the work orders from the SAP database to this table.
Use other database server connection	If you have existing work order stored on another database server, then enable this option. This will enable the Connect to Server button which will let you select the database server where the work orders are located.
Database Name	This is the name of a SQL server database that will be used to exchange work order records between your organization’s work order management system such as SAP and Promis.e . It acts as an intermediary database between the two systems.
Mapping Table	This is the name of the table you wish to export your organization's work order records to. This would be a table inside of the SQL Server Database that you defined in the <DatabaseName> parameter above.
Mapping data	You can define any fields you desire in your <Mapping Table> for storing Work Orders and then map these fields the fields in the project database's LCM_WorkOrder table. This determines what fields appear in the Work Order Manager and the New Work Order dialog. Database Field: This is the field name in the project database's LCM_WorkOrder table. Prompt: The name that will appear in the Work Order Manager. Import Table Field: This is a field name from the <Mapping Table> that you want to map to the field specified in the Name parameter above. The attributes are utilized in the Work Order Manager as shown below:
