Define your organization’s assets, positions, systems, and locations as equipment.
You can only delete equipment records that do not have histories or other associated records.
If you have purchased the GIS integration, automatically define Esri GIS features as you define HxGN EAM assets, positions, or systems. In addition, view equipment on a GIS map from the Assets, Positions, or Systems forms.
As you define an equipment record, specify that it is subject to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) standards as necessary. Depending on your system configuration, the system creates electronic records or requires signatures for any work performed on cGMP equipment. Contact your system administrator for more information.
Create a large number of identical equipment records quickly with equipment profiles.
Define linear equipment records for equipment that spans a length of space, for example a bridge. Define Vehicle Maintenance Reporting System (VMRS) equipment as necessary.
Define equipment before associating parts or permits with that equipment or before setting up parent/child relationships.
When the selected equipment is dependent on a parent, the equipment inherits its location from that parent. Equipment cannot be dependent on more than one parent.
When equipment is directly associated with a location, the relationship is automatically a dependent one.
Multiple system parents can exist for assets, positions, and systems. Therefore, this relationship cannot be established or maintained on the Record View pages of these forms.
Because equipment records are central to all functionality, the system allows you to perform a number of functions directly from the Assets, Positions, or Systems forms. Right-click to access the functionality. See the following table, which displays the functionality available from the Assets, Positions, and Systems forms and directs you to the section and section within this guide that provides instructions for use:
