Setting up Function Groups

A function group is a way of identifying assets that are responsible for performing a particular function. For example, the “Pump Assembly” function group could be used to indicate the relationship between a centrifugal pump, 20 HP motor, and valves.

Once function groups are set up, you can specify which asset types can use which groups. Then, assets can be assigned to groups.

To Set up a Function Group

1.	From the Site window, select the Assets view, Settings tab. Select the Assets tab and the Asset management settings node in the tree.

Tip: You can also select the Administration menu, Asset Management Settings, and then Asset Management. The Asset Management Settings dialog appears.

2.	Select the Function Groups tab. This tab displays the function groups for the enterprise.

3.	Click New. The Function Group dialog appears.

4.	Provide a name for the group and change the icon, if you wish.

5.	Provide a description of the function.

6.	Click OK to save the new group and close the dialog.
