You specify relationships between assets and locations
to define a logical connection between separate assets. For example,
you can define an intersection between a road and a railway line or
a connection between a network cable and a computer.
Before you begin
Before you can add a relationship to an asset, you must first
create the relationship definition in the Relationships application.
Procedure
- Select an asset and click the Relationships tab.
- In the Relationships table, click New Row.
- Optional: If you want to sort relationships
sequentially, enter a sequence number for the relationship. Otherwise,
relationships are shown in the order of entry.
- Specify a Relationship or use the
Detail menu to select a value.
- In the Target Asset field, specify
the asset that is the target in the relationship. If the Source
Asset is not the currently selected asset, specify the
current asset in the Target Asset field.
- Click New Row to add further relationships
or Save.
What to do next
When you have entered the
Source Asset,
Relationship and
Target
Asset, the relationship is validated against any rules
created in the Relationship application. If the relationship is not
valid, an error message is shown. However, if the relationship definition
has the
Allow Over-Ride option selected, a
message is shown, asking if the relationship should be applied regardless.
You can override the validation warning by clicking
OK.
