Create Custom Metadata Types for Predictive Maintenance

Create a custom metadata type to represent work types and work type groups. Mulesoft retrieves the Work Type ID and Work Type Group ID from the custom metadata type to categorize the type of service required for a vehicle. For example, if the Diagnostic code represents an engine malfunction, Mulesoft can map the work type group as Critical Services and the work type as Engine Repair.
