Report Categories
Report Categories, sometimes referred to as Tags, in the Metrix Asset Management System provide the ability for users to apply custom levels of organisation to their asset portfolio. This has proven to be very useful for grouping otherwise unrelated assets and components together for specific reporting purposes.
A report categories is simply a custom category, set by your administrators, with pre-defined category options, also configured by your administrators.
A classic example of a report category is a ‘Responsible Officer’ report category for ‘Airport’ assets. At an airport, there are many different asset classifications ranging from water/sewer infrastructure, transportation assets, as well as the airport specific items. All of these pieces of infrastructure could have different asset/component classifications that span different asset classes. A report category of ‘Responsible Officer - Airport Manager’ would allow you to group them together for specific reporting purposes.
