Business value
This feature makes it easier to create unique asset properties and associate them with different assets. The ability to manage different types of assets and easily keep track of key product details, usage, and service information is important to deliver effective service. Additionally, it becomes much easier to track changes to the asset properties over time.
Feature details
Asset properties allow customers to easily define the different attributes that characterize an asset. Common examples can include make, model, serial number, size, dimensions, and last service date. This feature also allows you to display properties dynamically based on the asset and keeps track of how asset properties change over time, like an audit.
Understanding asset properties is a foundational capability that enables future capabilities like usage-based maintenance.
