Backup and Restore
The importance of backup
It is very important to make a backup of the databases at regular intervals. The intervals may vary,
but a backup should be taken at least once a week. Or whenever a lot of Spareparts, Jobs etc. have
been added to or signed out in TMMaster.
It is also very important to use multiple backup sets, because of the fact that diskettes have a limited
lifetime. This applies on every kind of backup system used, (tape,cd,diskettes etc.)
The worst case scenario is that a backup has never been made. And if an
error occurs in the shipdatabase or the hard drive crashes, it may be necessary to go back to the
original database made by Tero Marine AS when TMMaster was installed on the ship for the very first
time. All history will be lost.
13
Make a backup of the database
This program backup all required databases, i.e. spare parts, maintenance, E0/UMS and standard
reporting forms. The information is compressed and stored in files in this format “TMBACKUP.ZIP”

on the disk will be deleted, if you are sure you are using the correct diskette, press the OK
button to continue.
7. The files will now be backed up.
15
Note ! You should not use the same set of disks for backup every week. Have at least three or four
different sets which you use alternatively. Do not use these disks for other purposes.

Repair and Compact
Repair and compact the database
TM-Repair and Compact is a utility for repairing and compacting databases used by TM-Master.
The database files will become defragmented when used. This causes the databases to become larger
than necessary. The database may also become slower. If you are responsible for the maintenance of
the databases, you’ll need to perform a number of system-oriented tasks from time to time, such as
compacting the database and repairing it if it becomes corrupted.
To make this task as easy as possible for our users, we have made TM-Repair and Compact.
Important: Make sure there are no users logged on to the databases that you are going to compact.
The databases in use will not be compacted.
If you are going to take a backup of the databases or when you get this message it is time to use TM-
Repair and Compact.

Working with windows in TM-Master
Activate a button or window
Tm-master window.
A field which opens up with information is called a window. More than one window can be open at the
same time, but only one window can be active. Each window has a title bar at the top, giving the
name of the window. When the title bar is highlighted, the window is active. Otherwise the title bar is
grey. Each window also has several items which may be activated, either to select an option, to
perform a task or to mark a component or spare part. To “choose” such items you use the mouse,
which controls the pointer on the screen.
There are several ways to open a window in TM-Master. The exact method depends on the window,
and will be explained under the title of each window later in this manual. However, here is a short
guide on how to work with windows in TM-Master once they are open.
Activate a button or window:

1. Move the pointer to the button or window you wish to activate, using the mouse.
2. Click the left button on the mouse once.
Once the computer has been given a task, the pointer will turn into a hourglass to indicate that the
computer is working. Do not use the pointer until it has become an arrow again, after the task is
completed.
26
Mark a field or item
1. Move the pointer to the field or item you wish to mark, using the mouse.
2. Click the left button on the mouse once.
3. If you have marked an item, the item's background will become blue. If you have marked a
field, this will become blue as well, with a blinking cursor to indicate where the text should be
entered.
Adjust the size of a window
A window can be moved or have its size changed, for instance if it is covering another window. This is
done by using the pointer (mouse).
1. Move the pointer to the corner or side of the active window where you wish to adjust the
size, until a double ended arrow appears.
2. Click the left button and hold it down. Move the pointer outwards or inwards to adjust the
size. An outline of the window will follow the pointer, to help you get the right size.
3. Release the left button when the outline has the size you want the window to have. The
window will immediately readjust to its new size.
Move a window
1. Move the pointer to the title bar of the window you wish to move. Click the left button and
hold it down.
2. Move the title bar to where you wish the top of the window to be, holding the left button
down. An outline of the window will follow the pointer, helping you to position it.
3. Release the left button when the outline is where you want the window to be. The window
will immediately reappear in its new position.
View a window using scroll bar
If the list of components, remarks or memos are too long to fit the window, a scroll bar will appear on
the right side of the window. The square in the middle between the two arrows will move up or down
the list, to indicate where you are on the list.
1. To move up or down the list, click on the arrows at the top or bottom of the scroll bar.
Repeat until you can see the desired information in the window.
or
2. Move the pointer to the indicator square. Press and hold down the left button on the mouse
and drag the square to where you want it to be on the path between the arrows. Release the
left button.
Note ! The square can not be dragged outside the path.
27
View a wholly or partially concealed window
The last window you work with will always have status as the active window. This window will be
positioned at the front of the screen and may wholly or partially cover other windows. However, this
does not mean that you can not work with or view these windows at the same time.
1. Choose the Window menu from the menu bar, and click on the title of the window you want
to activate. You will then bring the window to the front of the screen.
or
2. Move the pointer to any part of the window you wish to work with or view. Click the left
button once to activate the window and bring it to the front of the screen.
3. If the window you wish to see is completely hidden by other windows, move or close these
until you can see a part of the window you want. Click on any part of the window to bring it
to the front.
Close a window
Some windows closes automatically when you are finished working with them. However, most
windows in TM-Master gives you the option to perform more than one task, in which case they stay
open. When you have finished working with one of these windows, it is recommended that you close it
yourself to avoid having too many windows open at the same time.
1. Make sure that the window you want to close is active. (The title bar is highlighted)
2. In TM-Master, press the Esc key to close the active window.
or
3. Choose the in the top right corner of the window you wish to exit to close the window.

The template window
When you create a new system, component or spare part in TM-Master, the first step is to create or
choose a Template. Templates are the basis for all systems, components and spare parts. All items
which are linked to the same Template must have the same maker and makers type.
Note ! A change of maker and makers type made in the Template window, will change these for all
components or spare parts linked to that template. Other basic details such as specifications and short
name are also saved with the template, but once the new item is linked to a system or component,
these may NOT be changed.
Serial number, component location, memo/free text and specifications etc. which vary with each
component or spare part are saved with each item individually. This is done through the Component
and Spare Part Details windows, which are specific to each individual component or spare part.

Mount - Dismount circulating components
For some systems where it is necessary to keep overhauled components as spares and the user
wishes to track the history of these components, such as covers and pistons for the main engine etc.,
the problem has been solved in TM-Master by using the Circulating Components System.
In this system, components are categorized as circulating and can then be dismounted for overhaul
and a spare circulating component mounted in its place.
The dismounted component stops receiving running hours when it is taken out of use and starts
again when it is remounted onto the engine.
The overhaul jobs are signed off and service reports logged while the component is dismounted.
Note ! In order to mount or dismount circulating components, the user must have access to the
Circulating Component Department, with modify permission or higher. (Please view Edit list of users).
Note ! The “Sparepart master” function can not be used with Circulating components.
The mounted components are displayed in the normal component tree and the dismounted
components are displayed by selecting the drop down arrow at the divisions' field and selecting
Circulating Components thus:
A list of the dismounted circulating components will be displayed and jobs can be signed off or history
retrieved as with any other component.
Note ! Where the Circulating Components system is used, great care must be taken when linking
spares to components. The "Spare part master" function MUST be used with Circulating components!
Each circulating component must use a NON circulating component as its spare part master thus:
601.02.02
Used as Spare Part Master and is NON circulating
601.02.02.01 > 601.02.02.12
111
These components use 601.02.02 as the Spare Part Master component. This allows spare part stock
to be managed when the component is mounted AND dismounted.
Mounting and Dismounting

Note! In order to mount or dismount circulating components, the user must have access to the
Circulating Component Department, with modify permission or higher. Also, activate Circulating
Components in Edit, Codes, Divisions and Applications, after logging into TMMaster as a Superuser.
(Please refer page Edit list of division and applicaton and Edit list of users and user permissions).
From the Menu Bar, choose Options and select Circulating components.
The Circulating components window provides additional information on the circulating components

Press Esc on the keyboard to close the Circulating Components window when you have finished
updating.
Once the dismounted component has been overhauled, the applicable jobs must be signed off and
relevant service reports written.
This is done from the component tree by switching across to the Circulating Components tree as
described earlier.
Select the desired component.
Press the Jobs button.
Select the required overhaul job and sign out as normal.
The circulating component is now ready to be remounted to the main component tree when required.

The templates can be created using Word, Excel or ITForms. They then have to be added to TM-
Master, by using the 'Add SRF Template' function in TM-Master.
After the templates have been added to TM-Master, the user can start connecting the templates to
Jobs. Once connected to a job, the user can fill in the SRF when signing out jobs.
Word and Excel templates can be created by anyone that can use Word and Excel. The ITForms
Templates however can only be created by Tero Marine AS.
If you don't want to create your own templates (Word, Excel), we will offcourse be able to help you
with this. Contat us for pricing, and details.
Excel Templates
TM-SRF supports Excel 97 and Excel 2000 templates. An Excel template is saved with the extension
.XLT and not the ordernary .XLS extension.
How to create an Excel template:
1. Start Excel 97 or 2000, and design your template into your needs.
2. Select File -> Save as... from the Excel menu.
A window looking like the one below will appear
3. Insert the wanted filename.

4. Make sure that 'Save as type' is Template.
5. Click the Save button.
174
Adding auto fields to the Excel template:
If you want data entered automatically when the users use the template, you have to open the Auto
field list, and then assign names from this to cells in the template.
1. Select a cell that you want to be automatically filled in when a new instance of the template is
created.
2. Select Insert -> Name -> Define... from the menu (see picture below)
175
3. Type or copy from the auto field list (in this case the vessel name will be inserted automatically)
Pay attention to the Name Box (the blue circle). Click OK.
Notice that the content of the Name Box will change from the Cell ref. to the name you just defined.
(see the picture below)
If you want the same autofield to appare more than once in a template, you should add a number
behind the autofield name. e.g. if I wanted the Vessel Name to appare three places in the same
template, I would have to define a cell names like VesselName1, VesselName2 and VesselName3.
This goes for all the autofields in the autofield list.
Add the fields that you need, and save the template.
When your template is finished, all you have to do is start TM-Mastter and add it using the Add SRF
Template function.
Word Templates
TM-SRF supports Word 97 and Word 2000 templates. A Word template is saved with the extension
.DOT and not the ordernary .DOC
How to create a Word template:
1. Start Word 97 or 2000, and select File -> New...
2. Select 'Template' and click the 'OK' button.

3. Make the template look the way you want (your imagination is usually the limitation)
Remember to save the file. It should automatically suggest .DOT as extention.
Adding auto fields to the Word template:
If you want data entered automatically when the users use the template, you have to open the Auto
176
field list, and then add fields to the template, with bookmark according to the list.
1. Make sure that the Forms toolbar in word is visible. Select View -> Toolbars -> Forms from the
Word menu. The toolbar looks like the picture below.
2. Put the cursor in the template where you want to add the field, and click on the 'Text Form Field'
button
3. When you do this, a field is inserted in the cursor posision.

4. Double click the field just added.
5. Copy the desired autofield name from the autofield list, and paste it into the Bookmark field in the
Text Form Field Options dialog (in this case the Vessel Name). Click the OK button.
If you want the same autofield to appare more than once in a template, you should add a number
behind the autofield name. e.g. if I wanted the Vessel Name to appare three places in the same
template, I would have to add Three Text Form Fields and add bookmark like VesselName1,
VesselName2 and VesselName3. This goes for all the autofields in the autofield list.
Add the fields that you need, and save the template.
When your template is finished, all you have to do is start TM-Mastter and add it using the Add SRF
Template function.
ITForm Templates
The ITForm Template is a collection of defined fields placed on a background image. These templates
can only be created by Tero Marine AS. There is a big difference in how data is stored when using
ITForm templates versus Word and Excel templates. When Word and Excel templates are used, all
data are stored in files, and not in the TM-SRF database. Only the info needed to connect a job to the
Word/Excel file is stored in the database.
When using ITForm Templates, both the template and the data are stored in the database.
IF you want more information regarding this form of templates, please contact Tero Marine AS.
177
Adding templates to TM-Master
In order to add templates to TM-Master, you have to do the following:
1. Start TM-Master
2. Select "Add SRF Template" from the File menu

A new window looking like the one below will appear
3. Locate the folder where the template you want to add is located.
4. Select the type of template you want to add (Excel, Word or ITForm)
5. Select the file you want to add
6. Click the Open button
7. Type in a name for the SRF and click OK. The name that you type in will be the name that the
users will see when using TM-SRF and TM-Master.
cklick the OK button.

When Excel or Word templates are added, the files are copied to the SRF\Templates folder.
178
Auto fill field list
When creating Word or Excel templates, you can add fields(Word) or give cells names(Excel) that will
cause TM-SRF to fill in information from the TM-Master database automatically. The following list
shows you the name that you will have to use, and a description of what data will be filled in from the
TM-Master database.

Using TM-SRF and TM-Master
TM-SRF introduction
SRF stands for Standard Reporting Forms. The TM-SRF module is a standalone program that is called
from within TM-Master. This module is ment to be used when checking out jobs in TM-Master, and to
create documentation for jobs postponed to dock.
In order for users of TM-Master to take advantage of TM-SRF, templates have to be added to the
system. These templates can be created using Word or Excel, or Tero Marine AS can create special
templates called ITForms.
The templates can be connected to jobs in TM-Master, thus when users check out jobs done, they can
fill in a Standard Reporting Form for that job.
Previewing templates
All templates can be previewed and printed as empty documents. Use this functionality to show what
templates are available, and to create empty SRF's.
In order to do this, do the following:
1. Start TM-Master
2. Click the SRF button in TM-Master
TM-SRF will be loaded. All available templates are listed, and you can preview and print them.
Connecting SRF's to jobs

In order to use the SRF's, the templates have to be connected to jobs.
1. Select the component where the job you want an SRF connected to resides.
180
2. Select Edit ->Basic Details... -> Job -> Update existing job from the TM-Master menu.
3. Select the job that is going to be connected with an SRF

4. Select Options -> Basic details
181
5. Click the 'Connect SRF' button

A window looking like the one below will appear. This is a list of all the SRF-templates available.
6. Select the SRF you want to connect to the job.

7. When returning to the Basic details window, notice that the name of the SRF connected to the job,
is shown.
182
8. Click the Save button.
9. After saving, notice that the SRF column of the job contains a star, all jobs connected to an SRF,
will have a star in this column. (see picture below)
Ok, the job has an SRF connected to it, now you can enter data into it when signing out jobs.
183
Filling in SRF's when signing out jobs
In order to fill in an SRF, do the following.
1. Select the component where the job you want an SRF connected to resides.
2. Select Edit ->Basic Details... -> Job -> Update existing job from the TM-Master menu.
184
3. Select the job that is going to be signed out

4. Select Options -> Jobs done

5. Fill in the jobs done fields. Then click the 'Fill in:........ ' button. The connected SRF will be loaded,
ready to be filled in. when finished filling in the SRF, you should save your work and exit the SRF. You
will return to the Jobs Done window.
6. Click the 'Jobs done complete' button.

7. In order to find the SRF after the job is done, you will have to look in the history list. Click the
History button in TM-Master, select the job, and click the 'Review SRF' button.

Implement PMS, Mark 'Class related jobs', Define CMS codes
In order to obtain and maintain the approval of Planned Maintenance Systems (PMS) for a ship the
system must be implemented and used correctly.
The following two items are of particular importance:
1.) All components and systems in the DnV’s CMS inventory list must be connected to the
actual PMS component.
For all items and systems covered by the CMS, a job or routine must be defined as a “Main Overhaul”
and marked as a Class related job. The job descriptions and extent of “main overhaul” must at least
cover / fulfill the Rule requirements for “Class Survey” with respect to opening up, testing, etc.
It is a condition that the job description of “Main Overhaul” and “Class Survey” should be harmonized
and given on the same job order.
In TMMaster this operation is done as follows :
Log on to TMMaster with at least Modify permission. Mark the correct component in the component
list and select Edit, than Basic Data, Job and Update existing job.
In the basic job details window, the user can edit the job description, interval(s), dedicated
department and define the job as Class related. (Below)
When a job is defined as Class related, a field for the CMS code will appear (The field with light blue
color). Enter the CMS code from the DnV inventory list.
Search routines for Class related jobs are established with regards to both Maintenance due (1) and
History (2).
1.) To view Class related jobs due within a given date or running hours, select the Due button from
the menu line.
Enter search criteria like Due within, Department and Job type (Class related).
In order to get a prewarning of running hour jobs, enter e.g.25 in the field for % prewarning.
This will give a prewarning of 25% based on the interval for the respective job. E.g.: a job with
interval 10.000 hours, a prewarning of 2.500 hours will be given.
190
Class related jobs due within 14.03.1999 and 25 % prewarning for running hour based jobs. Press the
Report button to print the list.
2.) To search for Class related jobs done after a given date, activate the History button and press the
Search button.
Select search for Date done after (e.g.present date last year).
Press Add selection and select Job type ; equal to and Class related.
Press Start the search.
Example, search result of Class related jobs performed after 14.03.1998.

Implementation of PMS for existing TMMaster Systems.
For existing TMMaster systems, some adjustments must be made in the database onboard each
vessel, as the maintenance category “main overhaul” of the respective components will be considered
as “class survey” and reported in the Sprint system at every PMS annual survey.
I.e.: the 5 yearly CMS jobs in TMMaster must be disabled and the CMS-code connected to a “main
overhaul job” of the respective components.
A function for disabling all CMS jobs is implemented in TMMaster version 1.73 and higher.
Log on as SuperUser, select Options and Disable CMS jobs.
Next due for all CMS jobs will be disabled.
The jobs and history will remain.
To select “main overhaul” jobs and define those as “class related jobs” has to be done manually. This
can be done by the Chief engineer or by Tero Marine AS. Ref. described on the previous pages and in
this chapter of the TMMaster user manual.
191
Improve maintenance for critical equipment
2.) Procedures for continuous improvement of the maintenance for components critical to
safety of personnel and environment (to be based on collection and analyses of historical
experience data) must be established.
Procedures for continuous evaluation and improvement of routines for critical CMS equipment are an
important intention and benefit from running a planned maintenance system.
In TMMaster we have implemented the following functions to be used for these purposes.
CMS - Components ”Critical to safety of personel and environment” ”can” be marked and ”specified”
as an option for searching history records.
Critical components are marked as follows.
Log on to TMMaster with at least Modify permission. Mark the correct component in the component
list and Select Edit, then Basic Data, Component and Update component.
The following Window is displayed:
Mark the component

as Critical to safety
and press Save.
For ”Critical” components TMMaster will :

”Not accept” the job signed as done before the values for ”Condition before”, ”Condition after”
and ”Reason” have been reported.
I.e.: the program will force the user to actively make a selection for each of the three items.
Reports containing history for critical equipment with e.g. ”Condition before” reported as ”Bad” or ”Not
acceptable” can easily be generated.
The search result will be useful for evaluating improvements of the maintenance routines for the
equipment.
192
Step by step how to search for:
Maintenance history for Critical components done after a given date and with Condition before equal
to Bad or Accebtable:
Activate the History button and press the Search button.
Select search for Date done after (e.g present date last month).
Press Add selection and select Component type equal to Critical for Safety.
Press Add selection and select Condition before Equal to Bad.
Press Add selection and select Or Condition before Equal to Accebtable
Press Start the search.
The following window shows how the search options will look :
Example search result:
The search result displays all critical components and routines where the condition before was
reported as bad or not acceptable.
The report can be printed, analysed and the result evaluated with regards to possible improvements
of the routines.
It is recommended that the Chief engineer, once a month generates reports based on the
following criteria:
Improvement report 1:
Done after date:
Component type: Critical equipment
Condition before equal to: Bad
Or
Condition before equal to: Acceptable
Or
Condition before equal to: Not Acceptable
Improvement report 1:
Done after date:
Component type: Critical equipment
Reason equal to: Operational problems
Or
Reason equal to: Breakdowns
193
How to obtain complience with the revised PMS requirements for TMMaster
Background
For most of the rotating machinery components, the maintenance schedules from the manufacturers
are based on running hours for the respective components. Dependent of the operation of the
different machinery, the time between main overhauls will vary from vessel to vessel. The class
requirements for machinery surveys based on planned maintenance systems has been 5 years as the
maximum interval for any machinery component. This requirement has been the subject for several
discussions when some machinery components had not yet reached the running hour limit for a main
overhaul. Earlier we handled this case by case.
The motive for this revision was therefore to introduce better procedures for handling of maintenance
based on running hours. In July 1997, DNV revised the requirements for the Survey Arrangement
based on Planned Maintenance Systems (SA-PMS) in order to give our requirements a more realistic
approach.
Modifications in the Planned Maintenance System onboard
The revision consists mainly of the requirement to harmonise all old “Class Survey /CMS” jobs with
the main overhaul of the respective components. This means that every job defined as main overhaul
shall be identified as a class related job in the PMS with the respective CMS code. The old special jobs
for “CMS” jobs shall then be disabled from the schedule accordingly. It is therefore required to do the
following:
1. Go through all the components in the vessel’s inventory list
2. Identify the main overhaul job on these components
3. Mark X in Class related job in the job detail
4. Enter the CMS code
5. Disable the “CMS” job.
How to do this in practice, see chapter Practical guidance for TM-MASTER in this memo. When this
job is completed, the system will identify main overhauls for every component in the vessel’s
inventory list and the special “CMS” jobs will be disabled.
To illustrate this, we have two examples:
1. If a component has a main overhaul interval of 10.000 running hours and the component is
running approximately 5.000 hours a year, the main overhaul of that component will be
carried out every second year. It is therefore important that this job is identified as a class
related job with DNV’s CMS code. DNV will on the annual surveys credit this component each
time the main overhaul is carried out even if the interval is less than 5 years.
2. If a component has a main overhaul interval of 30.000 running hours and the component is
running approximately 5.000 hours a year, the main overhaul interval will be 6 years. DNV
will have to credit the component at least every 5 years, therefore DNV will credit this
component based on satisfactory documented maintenance history and/or service reports on
that component after 5 years, and not require the main overhaul to be carried out till due.
In both cases, DNV will need to verify that the approved system onboard is followed as intended.
Other important information
y The fee paid every year is not dependent of number of credited items, but is 1/5 of the total
CMS fee minus 15 % discount for the PMS arrangement. No extra fee will then have to be
paid if some items are credited several times during 5 years.
y When you go through all the main overhaul jobs and the corresponding CMS codes, please be
informed that three of the items in the inventory list can not be surveyed by the chief
engineer. These items are:
y MM SEA – Sea intake and overboard valves
y MM SAN – Sanitary valves and scuppers
y XX OVE – Parallel operation and testing of electrical generators
It should be noted in the job description that the job has to be carried out in presence of a DNV
surveyor.
Ref. item 3 and 4 or item 5 (practical guidance) for instructions how to handle this.
y For some of the components, main overhaul jobs may not exist and class survey is the only
maintenance job. In these cases, the class job must be kept in the system.
Ref. item 3 and 4 or item 5 (practical guidance) for instructions how to handle this.
y Some main overhauls can cover several CMS items (e.g. reduction gear). In these cases one
job should be established for each single CMS items. The job description for these items can
refer to the main overhaul job
For both of the last two items the existing CMS job type must be defined as e.g. an Inspection (Ins)
job and defined as a Class related job as described under respectively item 3 and item 5– Practical
guidance for TM-Master.
Note ! This has to be done before “disabling” CMS jobs.
194
Practical guidance for TM-MASTER
1. Backup the database.
2. Make a printout of all existing CMS jobs / items in the system.
y Select the Maintenance due function.
y Select Continuous Machinery Survey jobs due within at least 5 years
ahead.
3. The three items in the inventory, which can not be surveyed by the Chief
engineer are initially defined as CMS jobs.
y Before “disabling” CMS jobs these three jobs must be given another job type, in order to
keep the jobs and history up to date.
y First create a basic job e.g. Inspection (Ins) with following Job desc.: Inspection and
performance / function test to be carried out by or in the presence of a DNV
surveyor. Note the Alfa numeric code of the job e.g. Ins 57.
y The operation is done as follows: Mark a component in the component list. Select Basic
data, Job and Create job.
y Save the job and close the window.
4. Next step is to change the CMS job type to Ins job.

y Mark the component, select Edit, Basic data, Job and Update existing job.
195
y Mark the CMS job, select Options and change job code.
y Enter Job type code (Ins) and click OK.

y Enter numeric part of job code e.g. 57 and click OK.
y When the job type / code is changed the job must be defined as “class related” as described
under item 5.
5. Alternatively to the method described under item 3 and 4 the following procedure can be
used for the three items in the inventory list which can not be surveyed by the chief engineer
and for the components, for which main overhaul jobs do not exist and class survey is the
only maintenance job.
196
Disable the CMS jobs as described under item 6. Create a new inspection (Ins) job with an interval of
5 years with the following or similar describtion :
Inspection and performance / function test to be carried out acc. to regulation.
Link this job to the respectively components. Define the job as class related and enter the CMS code.
6. CMS jobs can now be disabled.
y Log on as Superuser.
y Select Option and Disable CMS jobs.
y Next due for the jobs will be removed, but the job and the history will
remain in the system.
7. The last step is to go through all the components in the vessel’s inventory list and identify
the main overhaul job on these components.
In TM-Master this operation is done as follows :
y Log on to TM-Master with at least Modify permission. Mark the correct component in the
component list and select Edit, then Basic Data, Job and Update existing job.
y In the basic job details window, the user can edit the job description, interval(s), dedicated
department and define the job as Class related.
y When a job is defined as Class related (the Class-rel job field below), a field for the CMS
code (the CMS code: field below with light blue color) will appear.
y Enter the CMS code from the DNV inventory list.
