Edit AIGs (Individually/in Bulk)

You can specify and store all asset-specific data in Asset Information Groups (AIGs). You edit AIGs on the Asset Information tab of the ASSETS screen. For more details about the tab, see Asset Information Groups (AIGs).

Prerequisites

• You have configured AIGs (see Configure Asset Information Groups).

• You have defined asset types and assigned AIGs to them (see Assign AIGs to an Asset Type).

• You have assigned the relevant asset type to the asset (see Edit Assets and Asset Types).

2. Go to the Asset Information tab.

3. Select the required AIG from under the Group: toolbar button.

4. Edit the fields on the AIG form as required. For more information about this tab, see Asset Information Groups (AIGs).

   Note

   • If you navigate away from the screen without saving your entries, your changes will be automatically saved.

   • If you do not want to save the changes you made, choose the Revert toolbar button.

2. Go to the Children tab.

3. Under Filters, choose Show All Children.

5. Choose Groups from the toolbar and select the AIG that you want to edit. You can select only one AIG at a time.

   
   
   

   Result

   The fields of the selected AIG appear as columns in the grid. If required, you can further filter, group or sort your assets based on the AIG field values.

6. Select all the items that you want to update from the displayed assets (for example, you can use CTRL+A to select all items), and click Edit.

   
   
   

   Result

   A dialog appears that contains all the fields of the selected AIG. In case the assets have different values for a given field, the value appears as (multiple values).

7. Edit the field values in the AIG as required. For more information about this tab, see Asset Information Groups (AIGs).

8. Click OK to apply the changes.

Note

Bulk editing is only available when:

• Exactly one AIG is selected under Groups, and

• All selected assets are of types that have that AIG assigned.

Changes by Other Users

If a change is made in another copy of NEXUS IC or IC-Inspection to data on a form you are viewing, you will see a message saying that this item has been modified by another user.

You can do the following:

• Click Refresh to load their changes into your copy of the application. This will discard any changes you have made.

• Click the Save button to save your changes. This will overwrite the changes the other user has made, meaning that they in turn will see this message, and have the opportunity to refresh or save.

This feature applies generally throughout NEXUS IC and IC-Inspection, but asset information is perhaps the most common place to see it.
