Status |
Note: Non-linear assets do not display on this screen. Use the Data -> Equipment Units -> Fleet Equipment screen.
The Status tab enables you to define status information for linear assets.
Tip: To limit the display of information in the grid and maximize performance, use the filter. You can sort on equipment ID, model information, class information, segment ID, to/from marker ID, and to/from offset, among other values. The list of searchable fields on the filter is extensive; use the scroll bar to view them all. If you specify a range, any record that crosses any part of that range will be displayed.
The Primary Information screen supports location-level access control, so you must belong to a user group with the applicable authorizations to make changes or updates.
The field in the top section of this tab defaults from the information entered on the Basic Info tab. The field is read only.
Equipment ID
Identifier of the equipment unit currently selected in the grid. This field has a list box. The equipment unit year, manufacturer, and model display to the right of the ID.
Tip: You can set a zoom button for this field to detect the type of equipment and display the appropriate screen. If you used Administrator Mode to add a zoom button, you will need to use it again to remove your user-defined zoom button for this functionality to work.
Asset type

Data in the fields in the bottom section of this tab define status information for linear assets. Unless otherwise indicated, these fields are required.
Life-cycle status code ID
Identifier of the user-defined life-cycle status code. Linear assets are tracked through their entire life cycle, from ordering to disposition, using the life-cycle status code ID. This field has a list box. The life-cycle status description displays to the right of the status.
Note: You cannot change the life-cycle status from one that denotes the equipment is active to one that denotes the equipment is not active if:
There is a work order in OPEN status for the unit
There is a work order in WORK FINISHED status for the unit
There is a work order in PENDING status for the unit
There is a Call Center work order in OPEN status for the unit
If you change the life-cycle status code from one that denotes the equipment is active to one that denotes the equipment is inactive, a check displays automatically in the Exclude from inventory lists field on the Authorization tab.
A linear asset's authorization settings (refer to the Authorization tab) and life-cycle status control whether it can have usage or work orders or test equipment.
