Asset attributes

Asset attributes are user-defined attributes that you can create and use to maintain a record of attribute changes over the life of an asset. Each time the attribute value is changed, you can specify the date and time of the change to maintain a history. You can also choose to record a meter count when an attribute value is changed.

You define the name of the attribute and a list of possible values in the Asset Attributes Setup (CM) application. In the Asset Attributes (CM) application, you can create asset attribute change records. You can create these records to create, manage, and assign an attribute change that is applied to an asset. You also can add new asset meter values when an attribute change record is created. Asset attribute change records track and report on changes throughout the life of the asset.

In the Assets (CM) application, you can view the asset attributes and the attribute changes. The asset attribute, the attribute changes, and the meter values are shown from the date that you select in the As of Date field. Meter reading values are recorded in the Life at Asset Attribute Change window. The asset meter readings and the attribute values are used to update the meter life value of an asset.
