The Operational dashboard is the go-to tool to keep track of your fleet and to view the operational status, restrictions and maintenance for each asset separately.

As a Railnova administrator, you can create detailed operational status types, restriction types and intervention types based on your operational and business needs for the assets where your company is registered as ECM on the Railnova platform.

If you would like to use more detailed operational statuses than the three standard operational statuses, you can set up detailed status types for each standard operational status (operational, immobilised and degraded mode). Go to the administration panel, head to the "Corrective maintenance settings" section under Railfleet and click on "Detailed status types".

You can see all detailed status types for your company. If you don't find the one you're looking for, you can create a new one. Click on the "Add a detailed status type" button in the upper right corner of your screen, and a new window will appear. Fill in the form by adding a name to your detailed status type in any of the shown languages, add a description and assign an operational status to which the detailed status type will be applicable. If you tick the checkbox default, the detailed status type will be automatically added to the operational status by default. When you're done, don't forget to save it.

Here are a few ideas on how they can be used and how they will appear on the Operational Dashboard:

In some situations, you'll want to apply restrictions to an asset. If you need to add supplementary information to these restrictions, you can do this yourself on the administration panel. Go to the "Corrective maintenance settings" under the Railfleet section and click on "Restriction types".

You can browse through all active or inactive restriction types. If you can't find the one that suits your needs, create a new one by clicking on the button "Add restriction type" in the upper right corner of your screen.

Once you're on the next page, you can enter the name of the restriction type (e.g. not faster than 80km/h, not allowed to run at night, ...) and a description (optional). Don't forget to click on the save button when you are finished.

Once a restriction type has been created, it can be added to the asset during the creation of a corrective event:

When a restriction type is defined, it can be viewed on the detailed view of the Operational Dashboard under the tab "Restrictions" as follows:

Whenever you plan maintenance on your assets, it is important to know where the maintenance takes place. To illustrate this, you can add an intervention type to the intervention on the Railnova platform. Visit the administration panel, then head to "Corrective maintenance settings" in the Railfleet section and click "Intervention types".

In general, Railnova users use the following names for the intervention types:

If you would like to create a new intervention type, click on "Add intervention type" in the upper right corner of your screen. A new window will appear where you can give your intervention type a name like revision or delayed repair in English, French, Dutch, German, Italian and/or Swedish and add a description to it. Your company has already been pre-defined, and the mandatory fields are marked with an asterisk (*). Don't forget to click on save when you're finished.

By ticking the checkbox "Add handover process", you'll add extra steps in interventions with this intervention type to be carried out during the process. Note that these extra steps are predefined and can't be modified.

Here is an example from the praxis:

You tried to create an intervention, but you can't find the elements of the corrective maintenance settings created by your company? This is most probably because your company is not registered as the ECM of the asset on the Railnova platform.
