Support ability to limit the duration that is scheduled for a work order task

Support the ability to limit the duration scheduled per shift for a work order task
This feature allows you to set a limit to the amount of time allocated to each shift when the work is scheduled.
As described by the customer who submitted the request:

I would like to see an enhancement made to the system so that a work task can be flagged or limited so that it will only schedule a portion of the hours for a shift and if possible, it would schedule it on consecutive days for the same number of hours until the hour requirement is met.
 
What I would like to see it a way to make a weekly work order task (PM) that can be used for each day of the week but limit its hours for each day.  For example, if you had a work order that required 15 hours per week, but you need to spread that out based on 3 hours per day on Monday through Friday without creating 5 separate tasks for 3 hours each.  I have seen this done in other systems using the duration field to calculate this out.  It had the option (a check-box was available when this option was desired) to manually enter a duration (rather than auto calculate) after the number of craftsmen and hours were entered on the order.  If you stated that you needed 15 hours of work scheduled over a duration of 40 hours (settings for the day are 8 hours per day), then when you schedule that work order it would break it up into 5 consecutive days with 3 hours per day scheduled for that order.  
 

When the feature is enabled, you are able to identify that the work is to be limited to a set duration when it is scheduled. The scheduling limit can be defined on a standard task and is copied to the work order task.  The limits can also be defined directly on the work order task. 
 
This feature is generally available.

Asset change requests

Asset Change Requests
Asset change requests are used to communicate information to the external CMMS that owns assets. The asset update is performed in the CMMS and the resulting asset update request is then communicated to APM.  
 
Asset change requests only apply when Bentley AssetWise Interoperability has been implemented.   
 
Three types of asset change requests are supported:

• Property changes - Used to request a new asset or property updates to existing assets.  This type of asset change request is currently only initiated from a construction form
• Asset status change - Used to request a change to an asset's status.  Asset status change requests are currently only initiated from a work order's asset inspection status
• Remove equipment request - Used to request that an asset be removed from its current location and move to another location
   

The objects associated with asset change requests include:

• Asset change request
• Asset change request type
• Asset change request status

This feature is generally available.
