A maintenance pattern is a schedule of predefined jobs used to perform a preventive maintenance cycle. A maintenance pattern tells how the system should generate work orders for the maintenance pattern, and whether the resulting PM work order generation is based primarily on a time interval (weekly, monthly, annually), or on a meter interval (ex. 3000 miles) or both.
