Change Asset Status

You use the Change Status action to change the status of an asset. Assets have a designated status which indicates whether or not they are operational. When you create an asset record, the default status is Not Ready.

To change the status of an asset:

  1. On the Asset field, click the Detail menu and select Change Status . The Change Status dialog box opens.

  2. In the New Status field, select a status from the drop-down list. The default list of asset statuses includes Not Ready, Operating, and Decommissioned; your system administrator might have revised the list of available status choices.

Note: You should only select Decommissioned as the new status if you intend that status change to be permanent.

  1. You can select any or all of the status option check boxes, as appropriate.

  2. Click OK to set the new status for the asset.

Status Option Check Boxes

When you change the status of an asset, you can also select one or more of the following options:

The following three options are available only when the selected new status is Decommissioned.

Note: If the asset you are decommissioning is on an active route, safety plan, or PM, and you do not select the appropriate check box, you cannot change the status to Decommissioned. To review the route, safety plan, or PM, go to the appropriate application, where you can remove the asset from the record; then return to the asset record and change the status to Decommission.
