Creating asset field options

 

Creating a new Asset Type / Condition / Acquisition Type / Disposal Type:

 

To create a new asset type, go to Maintenance > Table Maintenance.

 

Expand Asset Management from the Table Maintenance view and select the field that you want to add the option to e.g. Asset Type.

 

Click on the Add button to display the form. Populate the required fields marked with a red asterisk* and press the Add button above the form to save the new option.

 

 

 

Once the record is created, it will appear in the Table Maintenance list as well as the Asset Type selection field from the Asset Details / List view.

 

Creating a new Equip Type / Subtype:

 

To create a new equipment type/subtype, go to Asset Management > Asset Advanced Options and navigate to the Equip Type/Subtype tab.

 

To create a new Equipment Type, populate the Code and Description fields from the top form and press the Save button from the top toolbar.

 

 

To create a new Equipment Subtype, select the equipment type from the Type ID lookup.

 

This will load the record in the view and activate the subtype grid at the bottom. Press the Add button to display the subtype form.

 

 

Populate the Code and Description from the equipment subtype form and press the Ok button to save.

 

 

The new equipment type and subtype should appear in the selection fields in the Asset Details / List view.

 

 

Creating a new asset

 

To create a new asset, go to Asset Management > Asset Details view.

 

On the Details form, fill in all of the required fields marked with a red asterisk*, the rest of the fields are optional then press the Save button to create the asset record.

 

 

Once the asset record is created, this will generate a new Asset ID and activate the other tabs in the view.

 

Fill in the rest of the asset information if required. Make sure to press the Save button once you've filled in all the other fields in the Asset Details view.

 

Note:

 

If you need to create more assets for the same asset type, equip type, and functional area, tick the Retain Common Fields box at the top before pressing the Clear button.

 

The action above will reset the Asset Details form and retain the following information: Asset Type, Equip Type, Subtype, Location, and Organisation.

 

 

Setting up the asset meter reading configurations

 

To create a meter asset, follow the steps above but set the Equip. Type value to Meter and choose a meter subtype e.g. Gas, Oil, Water, Electricity, etc.

 

Once the meter asset is created, this should display the Meter Readings tab in the Asset Details view.

 

Click the Asset Details > Meter Readings tab and apply the necessary configurations in the Meter Config form.

Setting up the asset legionella reading configurations

 

To create a legionella asset, follow the steps above but set the Equip. Type value to Legionella and choose a subtype e.g. Ariston, Blended Mixer, Calorifier, etc.

 

To configure the legionella reading template for each of the legionella subtypes, go to Asset Management > Asset Advanced Options view and navigate to the Legionella Template tab.

 

Select a Subtype and this will enable the rest of the form:

 

 

Populate the Legionella Template form based on the subtype and press the Save button.

 

Note, if the Legionella reading falls outside of the compliance range or within the danger range will automatically create a remedial ticket if there's a remedial template assigned to the Legionella task type.

 

 

Moving assets to a new location/organisation

 

To move assets to a new location or organisation, go to Asset Management > Asset List view.

 

Apply the relevant filters (e.g. Asset Type, Equip Type, Equip Subtype, Location, etc) in the Filters form and press the Apply Filter button.

 

 

Navigate to the Results tab and select the assets that you want to move from the list (note, you can multi-select the assets by holding the Shift or Ctrl key on your keyboard).

 

Click the Action / Change Location or Change Organisation button from the toolbar.

 

 

Select your target location/organisation from the lookup and this will start the moving process.

 

Note: If you cannot find the new location/organisation from the list, then you may want to create the location/organisation record by following this guide.
