Introduction
COGZ takes full advantage of your personal computer hardware. You will see the many benefits of this with features including pop-up windows and scrolling lists that allow you to easily search for, add, or edit information. We are confident that you will find COGZ as easy to use as it is powerful. It was designed to put the power of the computer into the hands of all members of the maintenance department. By empowering the entire department, the greatest benefits and savings can be realized. We know that you are anxious to get started. However, we recommend that you read the following overview sections before you begin to navigate through COGZ.

Backup
As COGZ becomes part of your daily operation, you will begin to wonder how you ever operated without it. For this reason, we cannot overemphasize the importance of backing up your data. If a problem occurs in your hardware or software a current backup is essential to restore your programs and data. Backups allow you to return to normal operation as soon as the failure is corrected. We recommend regularly backing up your system and having two or three complete backup sets that can be rotated. With this rotation, if a system error occurs that is corrupting or damaging your data, you will not be writing over the good information on your previous set of backups with corrupt data. We also suggest that a set of backups be kept in a location away from the computer, off-site. In the event that something should happen to the computer you will have the ability to get a system up and running with this backup. A backup should be made any time data is changed, normally on a daily basis. Many computer users neglect to start a good backup routine until critical data is lost. We encourage you to get into the habit of making backups to avoid this potential disaster. A backup utility is included in your COGZ System for easy access. See the File section of this manual for more information on backup. COGZ also offers a backup upon opening of the program if there has been no previous backup made, or it has not been made recently within the last day. This message serves to remind you to backup your system so you can be sure that you can restore in case something happens. It is recommended that this message not be ignored since a recent backup will enable you to resolve any problems that might occur in the event something happens to your computer. Selecting Backup will bring you to the Backup Database Files menu. The backup file will automatically be labeled with todays date and the time of the backup.

The following is an example of how to delete an employee that is linked to a PM Task Standard Library procedure.
The error message tells you that the record is referenced from the Ppr_std file. As shown in the above table, this means that this Employee is associated with a particular task in the PM Standard Task Library List. The employee cannot be deleted until the PM Standard Task Library (Ppr_std) that references it is deleted. Find the PM task this employee is associated with in the PM Standard Task Library List.
Delete the records in this list that pertain to the specific employee or change the employee for the tasks. Now you will be able to delete the Employee.

If, when you attempt to delete employees, you decide that you do not want to delete the referenced record you may add a Z in front of the employee code to move it to the bottom of the list. An example of this is illustrated below.

Lists
The Filter Button allows you to filter out records that do not meet your criteria. Press the Tab Buttons to see information related to the high-light ed record.
Drag the column header to another location on the list to move the entire column to that location.
Click on the list for Incremental Searching. As you type, the highlight bar finds the closest matching record.
Press the Query button to bring up the list of saved queries for this list.
The Setup, Work, Equipment, Inventory, and Purchasing sections of COGZ all utilize Lists. They are used to look up data for verification purposes and to access forms where you may add, edit, or delete data. You can access a list through a menu selection, or one might automatically pop-up when you have entered information that the system is unable to verify. Data is considered verified when the system is able to find that it already exists in a database. If it does not exist, the pop-up list provides an opportunity for you to enter it. You may change the size of your lists in two different ways. Lists can be maximized to fill the entire screen by pressing the maximize button, located in the upper righthand corner of the list. If the list is already maximized you may restore it to the original size by pressing the Restore Down button, located in the same spot. Lists may also be resized by dragging any edge of the list until it is the desired size. Some lists have the ability to mark items as inactive. When you select to display these items they will be displayed in red to distinguish them from normal items. Sort: Click on a column header to sort by that column. Once data is sorted, look for a > or < sign to indicate ascending or descending sorting order. Large files may require a few seconds before the sort will take effect. Right clicking on a column header can access more sorting options. This will bring up three selections. Escape allows you to leave the window without making a change. Key Sequence undoes any sort orders in place. File Sequence displays the records in the order in which they were entered. The most recent record will be at the bottom of the list. Find: Select the column header for the column you wish to search in. Typing in the first few letters of the record you are looking for and pressing the find button, will take you to the record that most closely matches what you have typed. Click on the records section of the list and you will be in the Incremental Search mode. As you type, the list will search for the desired record. If an exact match is not found, the selector bar will highlight the closest recorded entry. This powerful

function can be a tremendous time saver when working in lists with numerous entries. Filter: The filter button turns the filter function on and off. When you turn this function on it calls up the filter window. By clicking on the Advanced check box, the filter will do a more thorough search of the data, but it will be slower, especially depending on the amount of records being searched.
The Filter Button calls up the Filter Window, which will filter out records from the List View that DO NOT meet your criteria. The filter function is available on all major lists. By turning the filter off you can view all information shown on the list. Query Button: Calls the list of Saved Queries from which Queries can be selected, added, edited, or deleted. Reset Button: Resets the list to its format before the current query was executed. Tab Views On the top of many lists you can access information related to the record that is highlighted on the main list. For instance, in the Inventory List the tabs available are Inventory, Cross Reference, History, and Equipment Used On. Pressing any of the tabs will provide access to information related to the highlighted Inventory part. Each of the following keys provides access to a form for a specific purpose: Edit is used to add a record to the list. This will display the appropriate blank form where data may be entered. When you have completed your data entry press the save button and you will be returned to the list and the new record will be inserted in the proper sequence in the list. Delete is used to delete an existing record and any associated records. Highlight the record with the selector bar and press the Delete button. The system will display a form to verify the deletion. Press Yes to delete the record; press No to exit without deleting the record.
Please note that there is no way to restore the record once you have answered yes to Are you sure that you want to delete the highlighted record? Copy: Copies the highlighted record, displaying the form to create a new record with duplicate information already entered, except for the identifying field. You must modify any fields that are unique on this new record or you will get a duplicate error. For example, if you copy a piece of equipment from the equipment list, the new record that you have copied to needs a modification of the equipment number. You cannot use the same equipment number since it already exists.

For example, if you are over work order description when you click on the sort function your data will be sorted alphabetically by work order description.

The column will disappear from the list view, but can be brought back at any time by using the default function. Default: Brings the list in view back to its default form. This function will change everything that you have altered in the list back to its original format.

Forms
The form is used to add or modify data. A form is accessed from a List. A form has several different types of fields. There are required fields where information must be entered. The system will then verify that this information exists in the related database before accepting it. If it is not found, a list will pop-up allowing you to find the closest match or to enter new data. When you are positioned in the list you have two options. First, by using the locator field you can start searching for the desired information, highlight any item, press Select and that information will automatically be entered into the field in the form that originally popped-up in the verification list. Or, you can add the information that does not exist. You can create it on the fly by pressing the Add key to access a blank form. Enter or pressing OK will save all the data. Any fields that are look-up fields will be verified when you press Enter. If a field entry cannot be verified a look-up list for this field will be displayed. See the List section in this manual for additional information. Fields highlighted in red indicate a required field; information must be entered into all required fields before the record can be saved. The button to the right of a field indicates that a lookup field is available. Click on the button or press tab and enter to access the lookup. Esc will return you to the previous procedure. Cancel will exit from the form without saving. OK will save the form and return to the previous procedure. Any fields that are look-up fields are verified. If a field is not verified, a look-up list for this field will be displayed. See the List section for additional information.

Lookup Fields
The Lookup field Drop-Down arrow indicates a required entry. This data always comes from a related database. To speed the entry of this repetitive information the Lookup Fields automatically search and complete the entry as you type. There are three methods of filling in Lookup Fields.
1.
Incremental Lookup: Place the cursor in the field; most times you will only have to type in the first few letters to find a matching entry. This will prompt the Selection List to give you an entry that matches. If the letters you have typed in do not match with any entries the Selection List will automatically pop up and take you to the closest matching entry. If a match cannot be found, the Selection List will automatically pop up, allowing a selection or addition to be made. Drop-Down Arrow: The Drop-Down arrow takes you to the Selection List where you can choose an entry that matches your needs. Arrow Up and Down Keys: Place the cursor in the field and press the up or down arrows to look through all of the entries in the Selection List.

Screen: The report immediately appears on the screen once you have made this selection. You may scroll through it or print it from the preview. Some Windows printers do not print exactly what you see on the screen. In this case we suggest printing directly and not from the print preview. If you want to narrow the items printed on your report most of the reports available have From and To fields where some limiting factors can be entered. A query option is also offered on several of the reports in the report menu. Use this option to narrow down the items that you will report. Checking the Query Report box will take you to the list of Saved Queries where you can choose an already existing query or you may create a new query using the query wizard.

CORRECT NUMBERING
BOIL01 BOIL02 BOIL11 BOIL20
In the above list you can see why the use of placeholders is important. In this example the 01, 02 - 99 placeholder scheme was sufficient because we did not anticipate more that 99 boilers in this plant. If we needed to group 999 boilers then we should use 3 place holders and it would look like this: 001, 002 - 999 Equipment Numbers: Equipment numbers are the most frequently used codes. This is an alphanumeric field that allows for 20 characters. As with all coding in the system we suggest that abbreviations be used wherever possible. I.e., a boiler might be coded as BOIL01. Boiler Number 2 would be BOIL02 and so on. Employee Code: This is a 5 character alphanumeric field. Common codes should be abbreviations of the resource necessary to complete the task or initials of the employee who will actually do the work. Such as: EL01- Electrician 1st class, MECH3- Mechanic third class or JD-John Doe.
COGZ CMMS
What To Do First 35
Vendor Codes: This is an alphanumeric field with 10 characters available. A good choice is to use the initials of the vendors name as it is easily remembered. PM Library Task Codes: This is a 5 character alphanumeric field. Standard tasks allow you to reduce your typing and increase consistency when creating an equipment PM. By entering a code the information previously created in a database is automatically printed on the PM. This previously created information may be changed at any time and the change will automatically be reflected on any PM's that use that code. The PM Library Task Codes should be grouped by similar skill requirements. SE010, SE020, SE030 could be used for tasks that require electrical skills (SE is a code for a standard electrical task). SM010, SM020 etc. could be used for standard mechanical tasks. Using this method will make it very easy to setup your PM system by allowing you to scan a list of tasks and simply pick out the tasks that apply to the equipment on which you are working. See the PM Standard Task Form for additional information. Note Codes: This is a 5 character alphanumeric field. Note codes are used for detailed instructions on PM and corrective work orders. A PM work order can include a PM Library Task Code as well as a Note Code. If the PM Library Task Code will always be used with the same Note Code, use the same code for both. Otherwise, we recommend using codes similar to the standard procedure codes. Note Codes are also used to add general notes to the bottom of all PM and corrective work orders as well a Purchase Orders. The notes you select will print on every PM and corrective work order. The note codes that are used for this purpose are setup in the System Defaults Form (found under Setup) for both PM and corrective work orders.

Equipment List, PM Tasks Tab: Shows the PM Tasks that are repetitively scheduled for the piece of equipment highlighted in the Equipment List. When Work Orders are generated, this list will be examined to determine which PM Tasks to schedule.
Generate PM Work Orders: This process creates the actual PM Work Orders by searching the Equipment/PM task database and determining which PM's are due for the period you have selected. You will be prompted for a date to create PM work orders for. The date suggested is a date calculated from the last date a cycle was run and the cycle interval that you have chosen in the System Defaults Form. This date is always a future date for which work will be scheduled. I.e., you want to schedule up to and including one week ahead.
Work Order List: Once the cycle has been completed you can go into the Work Order List and examine the newly created PM Work Orders. Next, print the PM Work Orders using the Print Work Orders procedure found in the Reports section, or print right from the Generate PMs screen. Individual Work Orders can be printed from the Work Order List.
Close Completed Work Orders: The final step in the process is to Close Completed Work Orders. Once the Work Orders are issued and completed they should be closed. This will also update the Last Date Done field in the PM Tasks Database. COGZ allows partial Work Order completion. This powerful feature allows you to let the computer reschedule any uncompleted tasks, so you can concentrate on more important things.

Generate PM Work Orders is the process that actually creates PM work orders. The process searches the Equipment/PM database and creates PMs for any equipment PM tasks that are due according to miles, meter, or last date done. This process will also commit any parts necessary to complete the PM tasks in the inventory database. A full description of how to setup PM tasks is in the Equipment section of this manual. PM's that have not been completed before this process is started will be rescheduled. Therefore, all of your completed PM tasks and work orders from the previous PM cycle should be entered before proceeding with a new cycle. New work orders will be created with any new tasks added to the old uncompleted tasks and new work order numbers will be assigned. In the System Defaults Form there is an option so you can choose to replace all existing PM Work Orders with new work orders or create additional PM Work Orders for any new tasks that are due. Start-up Note: When you have a new program and have entered all of the tasks, etc. there is no last date done listed when you generate PMs for the first time. You can go through and add the last date done to the individual items, but this would be a tedious task. We recommend generating PMs. Since there is no end date, COGZ will print them all. Once you have these, close out the ones that were done previously (COGZ will prompt you that the date entered is old, but that is okay). This will add the last date done as well as establish the history in your system. In a multi-user system all other users must be logged off the system before starting a New Work Order Cycle.

Enable PM Range Selection: Limits the range of PMs by Equipment No., Department, Location, Section, and Line. When using this function the last date PM Work Orders were generated will not be updated. This will allow you to enter new equipment and generate work orders for just those pieces of equipment without incrementing the date. Allow Schedule Ahead PM Duplicates: Allows you to generate PM work orders and recreate open PM's, creating duplicates. This feature will recreate all work orders that are due for the date generated, even if there are already existing work orders open, creating duplicates. The system will not allow you to check the Delete Open PM's and Recreate All PM WO's with this function. If open work orders are deleted no duplicates can be created. This feature is usually used when companies have contractors that they need to send the PMs to ahead of time.

Delete Open PMs and Recreate ALL PM WOs: Deletes all of the existing PMs and Recreates all current Preventative Maintenance Work Orders. If you do not choose this option the PM Work Orders will remain unchanged. If you exceed 4 times and still do not recreate all PMs you will be prompted by the system with this warning message.
Long Date Format: If you are having problems with PM generation you may want to change your long date format. This will change the date displayed on your screen to four characters instead of two and may help you to determine what you are doing incorrectly. Go to My Computer, select the Control Panel, select Regional and Language Options. There will be a series of tabs at the top of the screen. Choose the Regional Options tab. Make sure that your Long Date Format is displayed as dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy or as shown highlighted below.
