Setting up the Priority and Condition Matrix

The priority and condition matrix allows you to view matches between asset priority numbers and asset conditions. In the Site window, select the Asset Health view, Asset Condition tab, and Priority and Condition tab. In the configuration list, select “Priority and condition matrix entries at your enterprise”. Select an entry in the table to display assets with that priority and condition in the table below. For example:

This tool is handy for deciding which assets to work on first, typically the ones with the highest priority and the lowest condition values.

APM comes with a standard matrix. You can create additional matrix entries manually or use the Generate function to create an entry for any combination for which an entry does not exist. Once you have generated entries, you can edit their labels and color.
