## PMs by calendar or hour meter

Choose how each PM falls due when you set its schedule, and its work order arrives before then.

- **Calendar.** Daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly.
- **Hour meter.** Every set number of running hours, such as every 500.
- **Either.** Whichever comes first triggers the work order.
