Identifier - Rename Service

Rename asset identifiers

Introduction

You can rename the asset identifiers using the Rename assets functionality.

Prerequisites

Before you proceed to rename the asset identifiers, ensure that the following setups are completed:

License
- Dynaway Data Manipulation Toolbox (DynDMT) must be imported.
Configuration Key
- Enabled: Dynaway Data Manipulation Toolbox (DynDMT).
Security Role: You must have one of these roles:
- Maintenance Manager.
- Maintenance Clerk.

Note:

To identify the AOT elements related to this functionality, the elements are prefixed with "DynAAMObjectIdRename" string.

To rename the asset identifier,

Go to Asset management > Periodic > Assets > Rename assets.
On the Rename assets dialog (see screenshot 01), enter the parameters for search based on the characters with which the asset identifier begins. Enter the values in Begins with field.
On entering the values, the Assets found field will populate the number of assets that match the criteria.
In the Set prefix field enter the value to rename the asset identifier and click on the OK button.
- Example (see screenshot 01): In the Begin with field, if you search for assets that begin with 'rename', and in the Set prefix field you enter 'test-' and click the OK button, then all asset identifiers that begin with 'rename' with now begin with 'test-rename'. For example, an asset identifier 'rename1' will become 'test-rename1'.

Note:

There is a validation in the system to check if the new name (renamed identifier) of an asset is within the allowed character limit.
If a record fails the validation, it will be skipped during the identifier rename operation.
