Indicators and Indicator Types

Indicators are used to track usage or record of items used in OCM (On-Condition Maintenance) tasks. The indicators are associated with their corresponding Indicator Types. 

There are three Indicator Types:

Cumulative - This is a running measuring like an odometer.

Descriptive - This is a qualitative description like color. Units of Measure does not apply to this type.

Numeric - This is for a reading like temperature.


The above-mentioned Indicator Types are fixed in ACTOR and may not be changed however, users may "Edit" the description of an "Indicator Type". To do this:

Editing existing Indicator Types

  1. Navigate to the Indicator Type tab. The list of pre-defined Indicator Types will be shown in the grid. 
  2. Select the Indicator Type you wish to "Edit". The row will be highlighted in grey to indicate its selection as illustrated below.

  1. The Indicator Type field will be un-editable as Indicator Types are fixed in ACTOR. Update the "Description" of the selected Indicator Type and then Click "Save" to clear the pop-up.
