Dynaway Advanced Asset Management for Asset Management (Finance & Operations)

Asset Type

Improvements to Asset Type

Introduction

Improvements to Asset type include:

  • Setting up default asset type attributes and copying the attributes to other asset types.
  • Viewing asset type pages as grids.
  • Setting up asset type as a tool.

Set up Default Asset Attribute Values

It's possible to set up default asset attribute values for each attribute assigned to an asset type. Only attribute types that are assigned to an asset type will be visible under the tab 'Attribute values' in the 'Asset type defaults' form. See screenshot 01.

For every newly created asset, the default attribute values will be set automatically.

Important remarks about the feature:

  • For string attribute types, only values that are already set up on 'Attribute type values', might be used.
  • On the 'Asset types' page, when deselecting an attribute under the 'Attribute types' tab, a validation is performed that checks if there is a value set for the given attribute in the 'Asset type defaults' page. If the value is set, a warning is displayed after deselecting that the attribute had a value set.
  • Before the first setup of default values, you should refresh the asset type default attribute values using Update default attributes button in the 'Asset type defaults' form.

Copy asset type default values

Asset type default values can be copied from one asset type default to another by selecting the Copy setup button with the 'Copy default attribute values' checkbox set to 'Yes'. See screenshot 02.

Set up Grids for Asset Types

It's possible to change the view on the Asset types page from panels to grids. This feature enables the functionality for adding Maintenance job types, Counters, Attribute types and Condition assessments by searching.

To change the view on the Asset types page, the Dynaway - Asset type setup grids feature needs to be enabled. To enable this navigate to:

  1. System administration > Workspaces > Feature management.
  2. Search for the feature 'Dynaway - Asset type setup grids' and enable the feature.
  3. Navigate to Asset management > Setup > Asset types > Asset types to see the view has changed from panels to grids.
