Description:
This optional field may be used to briefly describe the purpose of this registry entry.
Setting Key: DefaultSiteListBillingItem SettingValue: itemid
where itemid is replaced by the Job Cost / Billing Item Id that should default when you select a Job on the Site List tab. The default billing item id from this registry record is used to identify both the Billing Item and the Cost Code for the Job's PM Billing. The selected cost code must reference the default billing item.
The options enable you to specify the default work code on a month-by-month basis when the Auto Populate button is clicked to generate or update the Schedule tab.

Setting Key: PMWorkCode-02 Setting Value: WorkCodeIdFebruary inspections

This entry takes precedence over the following "PMWorkCode" entry that applies to ALL months.
Setting Key: PMWorkCode Setting Value: WorkCodeId
This option provides the default work code for all inspections when the Auto Populate button is clicked.
Note: Inspection Defaults field in the Master Contract Record
The Inspection Defaults: Work Code field in the Master Contract record enables you to select the default values that will be used to populate the Schedule tab when you click the Auto Populate button; this is true for both Monthly and Day of the Week inspections. These fields override the registry setting sys-viewer-vmstrcntrct options (if they exist) used to set the work code. If these fields are not completed, those specified in the registry will be used.

By default, the system imposes the following restrictions on Master Contracts:
Users may not use the Renew button to adjust existing lines for the current date range.
Users are not allowed to manually adjust billing or inspection lines that have already been generated for the current date range.
Master Contracts must be specified for one calendar year.
These restrictions are imposed to prevent the users from generating extra copies of billings/pm work orders that have already been created. However, if the user wishes to adjust a contract, the default behavior may be too restrictive. This registry options allows you to remove the above restrictions in the viewer. WARNING: this registry option should be used with caution. If additional billings / pm’s are generated due to changes made to an existing schedule, it is the USER’S responsibility to reverse previously generated invoices and cancel previously pm work orders.
Setting Key: RemoveValidations Setting Value: true
If this registry entry is in place, and the user presses the Renew button for the current date, the following message will be displayed: “Warning – This action will replace the existing schedule. Any previously generated invoices and work orders will still exist. Are you sure you want to continue?
If the user clicks Yes, the Schedule will be replaced. If Create PM Billing / Work Orders is rerun, it is possible that duplicate work orders / invoices may be created.
This registry option may be implement to determine which work orders appear on the Open and Other Work Order tabs by the use of a valid SQL expression.
Setting Key: WorkOrderWhereClauseOpen Setting Value: valid SQL expression
Setting Key: WorkOrderWhereClauseOther Setting Value: valid SQL expression
Example:
Setting Key: WorkOrderWhereClauseOther Setting Value: wrkordr_stts_ctgry not in ('Open','Archived')
