Set Up Anomaly Triggers for Assets

You can set up asset-specific anomaly triggers for fields directly from the asset tree. In case you create an asset-specific anomaly trigger, it will be relevant for the selected asset only.

Generic anomaly triggers (independent of assets) are set up in Configure Asset Information Groups and Configure Event Types. If you have both an asset-specific and a generic anomaly trigger on the same field, for assets with the asset-specific trigger, only the asset-specific trigger will apply. For assets with only a generic trigger, only the generic trigger will apply.

Note

Asset-specific anomaly triggers are specific to their asset and they do not automatically apply to an asset’s children.

To set up an anomaly trigger for an asset field from the asset tree, proceed as follows:

  1. Select the relevant asset node from the asset tree.

  2. Choose the Anomaly Triggers … menu option either from the Assets toolbar menu or from the right-click context menu of the node.

  3. In the dialog that is displayed, choose Add.

  4. In the Add Anomaly Triggers dialog, select the field for which you want to apply the anomaly trigger and specify the anomaly trigger parameters as required. These parameters are the same as the ones that you define when you set up the generic anomaly triggers on the Anomaly Triggers tab of the Add/Edit Field Definition dialog. For more information, see Set Up Anomaly Triggers.

  5. Click OK to apply your changes.
