Creating assets
You use the Assets application to create and to store asset
numbers and corresponding information, such as parent, location, vendor,
up/down status, and maintenance costs for each asset.
Adding assets to collections
You use the Assets application to add one or more selected
assets to one or more active collections. A collection is a group
that can contain assets, locations, and classification items. An asset
can be added to more than one collection.
Adding relationships to assets
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.
Viewing related assets
All asset relationships have a source asset and a target
asset. You can view all relationships for an asset or you can filter
the view to see a subset of its relationships.
Issuing items from a storeroom
You use the Assets application to issue items to an asset.
You also can use this application to return items from an asset to
a storeroom. You can issue both rotating and non-rotating items, and
you can issue items from different storerooms.
Modifying assets
After you create an asset, you can add it to a collection,
change its status, add downtime information, add meter information,
move the asset, swap the asset, change the item number, or zero the
year-to-date amount.
