Serial number is mandatory

Indicates whether asset serial number searches can be performed to see if the equipment being installed already exists in the database. If the search does not find a matching asset, a new one can be created with the provided serial number. If an asset group is supported, serial number searches are available at the detail level only.

Supports asset reuse

Indicates whether existing assets can be reused. If asset reuse is not allowed, all assets on the construction form represent new assets. If an asset group is supported, reuse is available at the detail level only. Note: Asset reuse and mandatory serial number are mutually exclusive.

Supports photos

Indicates whether photographs can be attached to construction forms of this type. If an asset group is supported, photographs are available at the detail level only.

Supports a child asset

A child asset is used when both an asset and a child asset’s information is entered as a single entry on the construction form. When the form is processed, two assets are created: the asset and its child, including the parent-child relationship. Select the asset type of the child.

Prompt existing child asset

When the construction form supports a child asset, child assets are automatically added to construction forms when the parent asset is added. Child assets retain their parental relationships.

Generate subordinate asset details

When this option is selected, APM automatically adds the asset’s descendants to the construction form. A detail record is created for each descendant asset, along with its values. Note: Descendants whose asset types are not included in the template are excluded.

Supports asset reuse for the child asset

Indicates whether existing assets can be reused. If asset reuse is not allowed, all child assets on the construction form represent new assets. Asset reuse and mandatory serial number are mutually exclusive.

When assets are created or updated from the form, the child asset is associated with the selected parent • Assets are parented to an asset record – When creating a form, you can select an asset from the site hierarchy
