Prerequisite

• Access to the Configuration > Asset > Configuration type (AS056) menu.

Introduction

A configuration type is a record used to classify and group event configuration records in the system. That is, it is a mandatory record for the creation of an event configuration.

There are three types of asset events: usage, maintenance, and calibration. For this reason, a configuration can only be created separately for each event type, hence the need to classify and group configuration records.

See below how to create a configuration type:

Creating an event configuration type

1. Access the Configuration > Asset > Configuration type (AS056) menu.

2. Click on the button.

3. Enter an ID # and a name for the configuration type.

4. Fill in the Upper level field with a different configuration type so that the type being created becomes its subtype.

5. Click on the button.

Conclusion

Once saved, the type will be ready for use in the classification of an event configuration. To learn how to create an event configuration, click here.
