Asset

Asset typically is a thing in the real world that is the subject of inspection and is characterized by a name, a set of properties and type.

An Asset is linked to a Checklist and can be found under a particular Location in Azenzus data structure.

User Guide

Select a Location within an Inspection to view relevant Assets.

Data Structure

Asset resides under Location in our data structure.

There shall be at least one and, most likely, there will be multiple Assets inside a single Location.

Properties

List of Assets can be represented as a worksheet in Excel, and the Properties as the column headers in that worksheet.

Each Asset inside an Inspection can have an individual set of properties.

These different property values identify an Asset and provide information about each unique Asset.

For example, an Asset can have an External Id, Tag, Name , GPS Coordinates, Serial Number properties, which will be different for every individual Asset.

Each Asset record has to be categorized by special properties: Type and Inspection type, which serve to connect an Asset with a Checklist.

For example, a safety inspection of electrical equipment in an office will contain Assets with types such as: Computer, Printer, Heating appliance, HVAC, Copy machine, Vending machine, Coffee machine. The Inspection type defines what kind of Checklist should be used (e.g. Visual inspection checklist, Detailed inspection checklist, Function test checklist) as it might affect which questions shall be asked.

Azenzus Inspection Manager allows structuring Properties of an Asset into Groups in order to simplify information review. For example, one Asset can have a group titled Identification, with the properties Tag, External Id, Serial Number, which will then be rendered on the screen as a block of properties with block name Identification.

In Azenzus Inspection Manager, this information will be presented the following way:
