MAINTENANCE FORECAST PROFILES
Maintenance Forecast Profiles allow frequently used Maintenance Forecasts to be saved, removing the need for the repeated definition of filter conditions and report parameters.
Profiles can be selected from the Maintenance Forecast editor by clicking the Load Profile button.
Profiles created by other users are not available for loading or modification.
Profiles support email report functionality not available elsewhere.
The Employee Information editor in the Settings menu can be used to toggle maintenance forecast receipt permissions for employees.
