> Defining Permit Codes

Define permit codes to link permits to specific assets or asset categories. The permit code issued consists of the work order number and a sequential print number. Each time you print a permit for a work order, Datastream 7i increases the print number.

   Define work orders before associating permits with work orders. Describe any necessary permit information and instructions on the Comment page.

Follow these steps to define permit codes.

  2. Permit—Enter a unique code identifying the permit.

  5. Class—Click to select the class of the permit. The classes shown belong to the PERM entity.

  6. Choose File | Save from the menu bar. Datastream 7i saves the information to the database.
