Hi
Currently assigning assets are based on a single asset assignment methodology from the EditFixedAsset form/screen. This screen lists on "noConditionFind" all assets in the database. Assigning fixed assets from here has the potential of linking parent and child assets to different facilities and parties - leading to unreliable databindings. Is there a way to assign child assets automatically once the parent has been assigned? Thanks Gavin |
I'm not sure what you mean by unreliable databindings.
As far as I know, there is no way to automatically assign child assets to facilities or parties. -Adrian --- On Wed, 11/4/09, Gavin Mabie <[hidden email]> wrote: > From: Gavin Mabie <[hidden email]> > Subject: Fixed Asset Facility Assignment > To: [hidden email] > Date: Wednesday, November 4, 2009, 7:56 PM > Hi > > > > Currently assigning assets are based on a single asset > assignment > methodology from the EditFixedAsset form/screen. > This screen lists on > "noConditionFind" all assets in the database. > Assigning fixed assets from > here has the potential of linking parent and child assets > to different > facilities and parties - leading to unreliable > databindings.

Hi Adrain
Let me illustrate this by example: Suppose you have a workstation consisting of various components as a parent fixed asset; This captured and assigned to a facility and party; Now when you capture the components (children) of the workstation you have the option to assign each to a facility and party; This creates the possibility to assign children to parties and facilities other than that of the parent. A solution might be to create a use use-when condition which will hide facility and party fields when the asset captured is a child. Can that work.

You could create a SECA for that. The scenario you described might be
true in some cases, but it isn't necessarily true for ALL cases. In fixed asset maintenance for example, a large machine might be composed of smaller components, and each of those smaller components might be assigned to different maintenance workers (or outside services) - depending upon their skill set or qualifications. -Adrian Gavin Mabie wrote: > Hi Adrain > > Let me illustrate this by example: > Suppose you have a workstation consisting of various components as a parent > fixed asset; > This captured and assigned to a facility and party; > Now when you capture the components (children) of the workstation you have > the option to assign each to a facility and party; > This creates the possibility to assign children to parties and facilities > other than that of the parent. > > A solution might be to create a use use-when condition which will hide > facility and party fields when the asset captured is a child. > > Can that work. > > Thanks > > Gavin > > -----Original Message----- > From: Adrian Crum [mailto:[hidden email]] > Sent: 05 November 2009 07:12 AM > To: [hidden email] > Subject: Re: Fixed Asset Facility Assignment > > I'm not sure what you mean by unreliable databindings. > > As far as I know, there is no way to automatically assign child assets to > facilities or parties. > > -Adrian > > --- On Wed, 11/4/09, Gavin Mabie <[hidden email]> wrote: > >> From: Gavin Mabie <[hidden email]> >> Subject: Fixed Asset Facility Assignment >> To: [hidden email] >> Date: Wednesday, November 4, 2009, 7:56 PM >> Hi >> >> >> >> Currently assigning assets are based on a single asset >> assignment >> methodology from the EditFixedAsset form/screen. >> This screen lists on >> "noConditionFind" all assets in the database. >> Assigning fixed assets from >> here has the potential of linking parent and child assets >> to different >> facilities and parties - leading to unreliable >> databindings.
