# PLSS Schedule Lifecycle

Take noteBelow the PLSS Schedule Lifecycle, from adding (creating) the Schedule to Approving it, is explained.

The lifecycle steps can be summarized as follows:

- Add (create) the Schedule.
- Specify the Schedule Scope (this is the Equipment for which the Schedule is being created).
- Enter the Plancodes.
- Add applicable Attachments.
- Final **Approve** the Schedule (Plan Codes, timing, Narrative should be clear).
- Perform the PLSS work / inspection.
- Credit the Schedule in the Equipment Condition History (ECH).
- Final **Approve** the ECH (all actions that had to be performed must be completed and correct).
- The current Schedule then becomes inactive. If recurring, a new Inspection Schedule is created automatically (NID=LID+User Interval).

## 

## Recurring Schedules

Inspection Schedules (except for CAIR) can be set to be Recurring (see figure below).

The Next Inspection Date (NID) will then be equal to the Last Inspection Date (LID) plus the User Interval.

The figure below illustrates how a recurring Schedule’s lifecycle will look.
