Properties Tab for Equipment

On the Properties tab for equipment (shown below), you can configure basic identifying information about an equipment node.

 

Tip: An equipment node's information may be preconfigured if it was created using an equipment class. Equipment classes can contain template information, including aliases that are identified as being surrounded by /? and ?/. For more information about equipment classes, refer to the Creating Equipment Classes for Use as Templates topic.

 

Equipment Form - Showing the Properties Tab

 

To open the Properties sub-tab, in the Project Explorer, click the AssetWorX provider button to open AssetWorX. Then in the navigation tree, expand localhost > [the name of your AssetWorX database. In our examples, we've named it 'AssetWorX'] > Assets to access the asset tree. Expand the asset tree and click on the equipment you are entering properties for. This displays the Equipment tab, with the Properties tab on top. Use this tab to change the equipment icon, enable or activate the equipment, enter a custom identifier, specify an equipment class, or adjust its level in the asset tree. Each prompt on this sub-tab is described below.

 

Options on the Properties sub-tab are described below:

* If the equipment node was created using an equipment class, and this or other fields contain aliases (that is, variables that are surrounded by /? and ?/), you can replace the aliases with values that are appropriate for this equipment node by instantiating the aliases. For more information, refer to the Instantiating an Equipment Node's Aliases topic.
