Status Asset status represents the operational state of an asset and whether or not it is available for use. APM uses the status of an asset to determine whether or not work is triggered and whether or not components are available for installation. Sites can also use statuses, but these statuses are specific to sites and cannot be used for assets. Status is particularly important for components because it reflects a component’s repair and availability status. For example, when a component is out of service, the status can also indicate whether the component is a spare and available for use, is in the shop for repair, is out for vendor repair, or has been scrapped. When you change the status of a parent asset, the statuses of its children are also changed (provided the previous statuses of the assets were the same). See Also Asset Status The status that the asset or site is changed to. If you are changing the status, select an appropriate status from the list. An assets status is shared by its child assets. If you change the status of an asset, the status of every child asset will also be changed. If any of the child assets are component locations, their installed components will have the same status. Note that changing the status of the site will not affect the status of the assets on that site. A change in asset or site status may affect the triggering of work orders from some standard tasks. See Also Reason for status change The reason the status of this asset needs to be changed. Select the appropriate reason from the list. See Also Status Change Date The date and time that the asset status change took place. See Also New asset life When you change the status of a maintainable or component asset, you can also tell APM to start a new life for the asset. For example, you might do this if you are removing a component so that it can be rebuilt. By starting a new life, APM can track asset indicator readings and costs after the rebuild separately from before the rebuild. See Also Restarts all counters for triggering the component’s preventive maintenance jobs Select this option to have APM restart the time and indicator counters that are used for triggering preventive maintenance jobs for the component asset. The indicators on this asset might be used in triggering rules for standard jobs on this asset or on a different asset. If indicators on this asset are used in triggering rules for other assets, the counters for those triggering rules will also be reset. See Also Change Manufacturer’s Info Select this option to change manufacturer information for the asset. See Also
