Bulk Asset Entries
At the time of InfraLink Instance deployment Assets can be entered into InfraLink by importing a data set from an external procurement management application. Additionally, bulk updates to existing InfraLink Assets can be accomplished in the same manner. Administrative User Permissions are required for these functions. See Assets Import for more information.
Scenario-Specific Behaviors
A User with sufficient User Permissions may initiate the New Asset or Edit Asset functions from a variety of points within InfraLink. The approach used will vary based on the various operational scenarios. Depending on the particular scenario, the behavior of the Add Asset and Edit Asset function is tailored as outlined in the following table:
Specific Use Case | Behavior, Notes | Specific Permissions Required |
|---|---|---|
From the All Assets view, the User selects the “New” Asset button to enter an Asset. | This is a basic operational scenario. No additional tailoring or restrictions apply. | Create Asset (Global or contract-specific) See the additional Associating Assets with Contract(s) business rules above. |
From the All Assets view, the User clicks on an existing Asset, and then selects the “Edit” Asset button. | This is a basic operational scenario. | If the Asset Status is not set to "Deployed", the User must have the Edit Asset User Permissions for at least one of the Contracts associated with the Asset. If the Status of the Asset is set to "Deployed" the User must have both the "Edit Asset" and "View System Element" User Permissions for at least one of the Contracts associated with the Asset and the corresponding System Element. (i.e., User cannot edit an Asset without being able to see the System Element it is associated with.) |
While viewing the Location Details panel for a Storage/Warehouse Location, the User selects "New" Asset button. | The selected Storage/Warehouse Location becomes new Asset’s Location. | Create Asset (Global or Contract-specific) |
From the System Element Details panel with an existing Asset association, the User selects the “Edit” Asset button. | The Edit Asset form opens allowing User to edit the Asset information. | The User must have both the "Edit Asset" and "View System Element" User Permissions for at least one of the Contracts associated with the Asset and the corresponding System Element. |
