The Out of Service work template scheduling type is used when a piece of equipment is out of service, but still needs to be on a regular, preventative maintenance schedule. The equipment must be out of service for the number of days defined consecutively to generate the work. If the equipment is placed back in service before the out of service days is met, it will reset and start a new count when the equipment is placed out of service the next time.
