Asset Relationship Diagram (Deprecated)

Asset is a general term used in Calem Enterprise. It includes both EAM assets for maintenance and configuration items that are not related to maintenance. The assets in Calem Enterprise can be used as a configuration management database (CMDB).

Asset relationship represents the dependencies between assets. It can be used for impact analysis when changes and maintenance are performed. Here are the steps to manage asset relation in Calem:

• Define relation types. For instance: "Technicians use EAM servers" where "use" is the relation between "Technicians" and "EAM servers".
  • Menu path: Asset module | Codes | Relation Type
• Define relation between asset categories and sub-categories.
  • Menu path: Asset module | Codes | Categories | Category Form (to define relation at categories)
  • Menu path: Asset module | Codes | Sub-Categories | Sub-Category Form (to define relation at sub-categories)
• Define relation between assets.
  • Menu path: Asset module | Asset list | Asset Form | Relation tab

Some relation types are seeded in the system. You may add new relation types as needed. Once relation types are defined you may define the relation at category and sub-category levels.

• Relation lists are available at Asset category and sub-category forms.
• Use the relation lists to add/remove relations

Relations defined at category and sub-category are used to define asset relations. At the relation tab, one may add/remove asset relations.

Once asset relationship is defined, you can view the relationship in a diagram:
