Classification Resource Management

When defining classification resources within the Metrix Asset Management System, users are provided with a means of assigning that new resource to specific asset and/or component classifications. This is very useful for when you are building a particular resource, say an intervention treatment, for one (1) target classification. However, from time to time it may be necessary to manage resource assignments in bulk for a given classification. This guide will instruct you on how to do this in the system.

To begin assigning classification resources from within a classification definition in Metrix, complete the following steps:

1. Navigate to the desired classification, or the component group within the asset classification, using the ‘Classifications’ page. (Assets Menu > Classifications > Selected Classification > (Selected Component Group)).

2. Click on ‘Edit Configuration’ to enter allow editing the classification definition.

   

3. For asset classification level resources, the following resources can be linked via the configuration screen:

   • Attribute Form: select the desired form definition from the drop down list.

   • Task Types: click on ‘Manage Task Type Link(s)’ and choose the desired task type definitions from the dialog box. When complete, click done.

     

4. For component classification level resources, the following resources can be linked via the configuration screen:

   • Component Flags: simply check or uncheck the desired component flags.

   • Attribute Form: select the desired form definition from the drop down list.

     Info

     If any smart attributes or cost unit formulas are linked to the component classification, this option will be disabled.

   • Smart Attributes: see Smart Attributes for details

   • Cost Unit Formula: see Cost Unit Formulas for details

   • Intervention Treatments: click on ‘Manage Treatment Link(s)’ and choose the desired treatment definitions the dialog box. When complete, click done.

   • Condition Functions: select the desired condition function from the drop down list.

   • Task Types: click on ‘Manage Task Type Link(s)’ and choose the desired task type definitions from the dialog box. When complete, click done.

5. When complete, click ‘Save Config Changes’.
