Resequencing Assets in a Hierarchy

Importing Asset CMMS Information

The asset hierarchy import sets the order of assets in the hierarchy based on the order in which they are loaded. When multi-threading is in use, the order of assets might be random. The Resequence Hierarchy feature for the asset allows you to select a starting asset in a hierarchy and sort its child assets according to an attribute, such as asset number or title. You can resequence the assets in ascending (a-z) or descending order (z-a). A similar feature for the site reorders the assets starting with the top asset.

Note: You can execute this feature when other users are connected to the system. The users will see the changes in their next sessions.

To Resequence Assets in a Hierarchy

1.	In the Site window, select the Assets view and the appropriate Hierarchy tab.

2.	Do one of the following:

•	To start at the top asset in the hierarchy, click the Tools menu, Assets, and Resequence Hierarchy.

•	To start at a specific parent asset, select the starting asset in the tree. Right-click and click Resequence Hierarchy.

Tip: You can also open the starting asset’s window, click the Tools menu, and then click Resequence Hierarchy.

The Resequence Hierarchy dialog appears. This example is from the Site window, Assets view, Physical Hierarchy tab when a specific parent asset is selected:

3.	Select a sorting criteria in the Sort by list. Typically, asset number or title is used.

4.	Select the appropriate direction option: ascending (a-z) or descending order (z-a).

5.	Click OK. A confirmation message appears. Click Yes to continue. When the process is completed, the hierarchy tree view shows the assets in their new order. You can refresh the view to see the change in the tab.
