Changing an asset’s or a building element’s status
Various statuses can be assigned to assets and building elements. The available status transitions depend on the current asset status. Every newly added asset is automatically assigned the Ordered status. Every newly added M&E asset or building element is automatically assigned the In use status. Only assets / building elements with the Disposed status can be transferred to the archive. To change an asset’s or building element’s status, proceed as follows:
Procedure
1. On the Assets selection level, click the asset(s)/ building element(s) whose status you want to change.
*To change the status of several assets/building elements simultaneously, use Action on selection.
*For details on using Action on selection, refer to Fundamentals.
2. On the Status transitions action panel, click the required status.
The status is changed.
Changing the status to Disposed of has consequences for any associated maintenance activity definitions. They are either:
Deleted, if no maintenance orders have been generated yet.
Updated, if maintenance orders have already been generated. The maintenance activity definition’s end date-time will be brought forward to the end date-time of the last generated order.
*For more details, refer to Planned Maintenance .
