- Status Transition Buttons - Located along the top of the Asset Details panel, status transition buttons allow users to quickly transition the selected Asset from one life cycle status to another. Please note: the available status transition buttons will depend upon user permissions as well as the allowed transitions from the Asset's then-current status. Additionally, the Asset Status drop-down menu has been removed from Asset Edit form.
Asset Update Log – Located at the very bottom of the Asset Details panel, the Updates section now logs all activities which impact Asset attributes. Updates logged in the Asset Details panel now align, in breadth and detail, with the Updates logs associated with Device Details and Case Details, creating a more consistent experience across modules. Additionally, drop-down filtering options, within the Details panel, allow users to easily refine the Updates displayed and more quickly find the Asset history they are interested in.

Expanded Permissions Related to Asset Status Transitions
As most IMMS instances support multiple programs and Contracts, not all globally-configured definitions (e.g., statuses, work flows, etc.) are relevant to each user or team. To better support Contract-specific procedures and restrictions, while streamlining the user experience, IMMS v.3.5.19 introduces more granular permissions related to the Asset life cycle and status transitions. New "Read" and "Update" permissions are associated with the Asset life cycle, and individual permissions can be created for each status transition within an Asset Life Cycle, similar to System Element Workflow transitions.
What you will see in the User Interface:
- Asset Status Transition Buttons - The individual permissions associated with each Asset status transition will determine whether or not a user sees certain status transition buttons within the Asset Details panel.
- Error Message with System Element Installation - When attempting to install a System Element, a user with inadequate Asset deployment permissions will receive the following error message: "There are no Asset statuses available for which you can perform this update. Please contact your system administrator if you feel this is in error."
