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.
On the Asset
field, click the Detail menu and select Change Status
. The Change Status
dialog box opens.
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.
You can select any or all of the status option check boxes, as appropriate.
Click OK to set the new status for the asset.
When you change the status of an asset, you can also select one or more of the following options:
Roll New Status to All Child Assets? Select this check box to specify that all children of the asset whose status you are changing also will have their status changed to the same new status. This option can be selected for any status change. If the new status is decommissioned this box will be checked and read-only.
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.
Remove Asset Reference from Active Routes? Select this check box to specify that the asset should no longer be referenced on active routes while the asset is in the new status. For example, if you set an asset's status to Decommissioned, you might want the asset removed from inspection routes.
Remove Asset Reference from Active Safety Plans? Select this check box to specify that the asset should no longer be referenced on active safety plans while the asset is in the new status.
Change the Status of All Associated PMs to Inactive? Select this check box to specify that any PMs associated with the asset should be set to Inactive while the asset is in the new status.
