You can directly create a complete hierarchy of Assets or Structure points from predefined templates,

• either from the tree structure graph,
• either from the [Assets] or [Structure points] function.

 

The information to be entered is as follows:

• Template: the one from which the equipment is to be created.
• Type of equipment created: offered solely from the tree structure. You can create assets or structure points.
• Organization: Organization assigned to the created equipment, which makes it possible to copy the equipment from one organization to another.
• Status: the one in which the equipment is created.
• Number of copy instances: the equipment will be created several times from the same template.
• Copy depth: if components of the template are present, indicates the number of levels to be taken into account to create the equipment hierarchy (see the example below).
• Comment: that of the link between the created equipment and its parent.

 

Creation options

• Characteristics: The characteristics are initialized with the characteristics "to be copied" from the template.
• Reading points: Reading points are created and associated with equipment from the links to the reading point templates indicated in the template.
• Control points: Control Points are created and associated with the equipment from the links with the Control point templates indicated in the template.
• Individualized nomenclature (solely for Assets): The item components of the template will be components of the Asset as well.
• Troubleshooting assistance: The failure tree for troubleshooting assistance will be initialized from that of the template.
• Work order plan: A Work order plan will be created for each equipment item from the default Work order plan template for the template.

 

Creation rules

1. The equipment creates (a Location point or an Asset) depending on the equipment type entered for the template).
2. If the template has template components, child items of equipment are also created from these components according to the desired copy depth.
3. Only templates with the "Template duplicated with copy" box checked are used for the copy.
4. The template will be filled in for the created Equipment only if the "Equipment with identical template" box is checked on the template. If the box is not checked, there will be no initialization of the characteristics or nomenclature, or creation of a reading point.
5. The name of the equipment created is that of the template.
6. The status and organization of the created equipment are those entered in the creation settings.

 

Example

Let us consider the following templates:

TEMPLATE_1 - Template_1, which has the following components:

TEMPLATE_1_1 - Template_1_1

TEMPLATE_1_2 - Template_1_2, consisting of

TEMPLATE_1_2_1, Template_1_2_1, in turn consisting of

MODELE_1_2_1_2

 

TEMPLATE_1_1 does not have "Template duplicated with copy" checked, but the other do.

The generation of equipment from TEMPLATE-1 with 2 instances and a depth of 3 leads to the creation of the following tree structure branches:

EQPT1 - Template_1

EQPT2 - Template_1_2

EQPT3 - Template_1_2_1

EQPT4 - Template_1

EQPT5 - Template_1_2

EQPT6 - Template_1_2_1
