Behind this dataset
Same schema. As many rows as you need.
These 40 rows came out of a blueprint — 19 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.
Rules it was built with
- Schedule maintenance every 6 months
- Log last maintenance date per panel
- Flag overdue maintenance tasks
- Summarize by site/location
