Associating Measurement Types with Assets (End User)

When you create an asset, you select a product for the asset. However, the measurement types for the selected product are not automatically associated with the asset. You can manually associate measurement types with assets.

The Measurements view and the Readings view of the Assets screen include the following functionality:

• Capture asset usage and compare actual to expected usage.
• Capture data needed to generate actions for preventive maintenance.
• Automate meter reading, fee-for-each-use, and other usage-based service models.
• Capture performance and quality data.

This task is a step in Process of Managing Assets.

To associate a measurement type with an asset

1. Navigate to the Assets screen, then the List view.
2. Drill down on the Asset number (#) field for a selected asset, and click the Measurements view tab.
3. Create a new measurement record, and complete the fields as appropriate.

   NOTE:  You can select only measurement types that are set up for the product that is associated with the asset. For more information, see Setting Up Measurement Types for Products.
