How do I create a reminder, based on hours, for an item that isn’t included in question 3’s answer?

You can use the VHM Wizard found in the presets menu.  This Wizard quickly steps you through creating a VHM and maintenance item.  There are also many pre-defined VHM/Maintenance setups already defined.

If you don’t see what you need, follow the following steps to create a reminder:

–  Go to the VHM tab.
–  Right-click on the grid and select “Create New VHM”.
–  Type the name of the item you want to track into the description field.
–  In the “Create Maint Items for This Meter” section also type the name of the item you
want to track.
–  Fill in the “Initial Due” hours field with the number of hours you want to first do the
maintenance.
–  Fill in the “Then Every” hours field with the number of hours you want to do
subsequent maintenance.
–  Click the save button.
