This release includes:

This section describes the new and enhanced asset management features in this release, including:

The new Automated Number zone in the Main tab of the Asset Type portal enables you to configure the asset type to automatically generate an asset number and/or badge number for a new asset. For auto-generated numbers, you can assign custom or calendar prefixes and set the length of the numbering sequence. Using a calendar prefix inserts the current year into the auto-generated number and the sequence number resets to zero at the beginning of each calendar year.

These fields facilitate the configuration of an asset type's auto-generated number settings:

No steps are required to enable this feature.

You can move "Rejected" or "In Repair" tracked assets to the "In Receipt" status. This bypasses the "In Store" status. Previously, when "In Receipt" tracked assets encountered failures, the application moved these assets to the "Rejected" or "In Repair" status only and the assets were returned to the vendor.

This reduces implementation costs.

No steps are required to enable this feature.

You can now configure asset attributes by asset type on Engineering Specifications. Previously, new Engineering Specification business objects were needed and created to configure asset attributes on asset types.

You do not have to create Engineering Specification business objects to capture different asset attributes.

No steps are required to enable this feature.

The Asset Location Attribute Types field of the Asset Location Types portal enables you to store GIS-like attribute information.

As a result, you no longer need to create custom Asset Location business objects to store GIS-like attributes.

No steps are required to enable this feature.

This portal is a streamlined version of the Work and Asset Management asset portal and includes only the tabs relevant to Operational Device Management assets:

This improves the user experience. It focuses you on only relevant Operational Device Management-related information.

Users must be granted "Inquire" access to the Operational Device Management Asset Portal (W1ODMAST) application service to use this feature.

The Operational Device Management Asset portal is secured by the Operational Device Management Asset Portal (W1ODMAST) application service. You must be granted Inquire access to view this page.

The following Operational Device Management asset business objects are impacted by this change:

To opt out of the Operational Device Management Asset portal and continue using the Work and Asset Management Asset Portal for Operational Device Management assets:

You can now assign sequence numbers for valid attributes on an asset type for assets and specifications for that asset type. Those attributes on assets and specifications will be displayed in the order of the sequence numbers.

This gives you control of the order in which attributes are displayed.

No steps are required to enable this feature.

Asset search provides the capability to select a Predefined Characteristic Type query filter from options that are sorted alphabetically by description. The Asset Attributes zone also uses Predefined Characteristic Type, providing you a list of attributes during editing that are sorted and displayed alphabetically by description.

This enhances the user experience by displaying Predefined Characteristic Types drop-down values by description and in alphabetical order, making the selection in Asset Characteristic search and editing in Asset Attributes easier.

No steps are required to enable this feature.

The Detailed Description field (with a 4000 character limit) in the following Asset Location business objects enables you to provide a clearer and comprehensive asset location description:

Also, the Asset Location search now enables you to search records with detailed descriptions using the Description filter.

No steps are required to enable this feature.

The character limit of the Service History Comments field is now 4000, addressing the need for more detailed record-keeping and overall usability. Previously, the character limit was 254. This update aligns with the requirements for improved documentation and operational efficiency.

This provides the capability for more detailed and comprehensive record-keeping.

No steps are required to enable this feature.
