Asset Group Configuration (ATFA275)

CONTENTS

01. OVERVIEW

This routine allows you to configure the fields that will be required to be filled in when adding or changing an asset, and to define the asset's base code formula.

The configuration of mandatory fields is intended to help users when adding or changing an asset, so that no important information for a given asset is forgotten.

Fields that are already mandatory via the configurator or by default should not be selected in this grid, and an informative warning of such a condition is displayed when they are selected.

Example:
An asset from the Computers group must have some mandatory attributes, such as memory, HD capacity, etc.
An asset from the Vehicles group must have some mandatory attributes, such as license plate, chassis, year, etc.

The asset code must be according to the asset group, for example: an asset from the Computers group can have a code such as: COMPxxxxxx.
Where COMP is the fixed part, and xxxxxx is the variable part in the asset's base code composition.

Then, as an example, we can enter a formula such as:
"COMP"+ALLTRIM(STRTRAN(TIME(),":",""))

We clarify that this formula can be customized according to the need using a User Function, and so in this case, assuming that we have a User Function MyCodAtf() where we have to return an asset code, we would type the formula:
U_MyCodAtf()

If the same code is repeated in different user instances, an alert will be displayed that at that moment the code is being used by another user. This behavior also occurs when no group is used, so it is a validation of the fixed asset registration system.

02. EXAMPLE

To add the configuration of the field group:

1. In Config. Group, click Add.

2. Enter the data according to the field help instructions.

Note the content of the following fields:

Asset Code: enter the formula that suggests the asset base code.

3. Check the data and click Confirm.

03. GROUP CONFIGURATION REGISTRATION SCREEN

In the registration header, you must enter the formula for defining the asset's base code.
