Asset Updates

Over the next few releases, we aim to make Assets much more powerful and central to the Centrix workflow. 

For example, searching for things should have the option of searching by Asset as well as by Site and then Channel.

Alarms should be linked to an asset. This would allow for more sophisticated logic and analysis to be done when an alarm raises. Prior to this release, only Points Alarms and Track Circuit Alarms have been linked to Assets (when created via the Alarm Wizards).

This release splits the asset view page into multiple tabs: Health, Alarms and Playback. This speeds up each individual tab and allows a user to focus on the one aspect they are interested in. 

Asset Health Tab

The Health tab is designed to be a high level overview of the Health of an asset. As a bare minimum, this shows the number of alarms which have been thrown by the asset in the last x days.

Until all of the alarm types are linked to assets, this page will not be useful for many assets.

However, for something like a Hydraulic or Electric Points asset, Centrix shows a more detailed breakdown of the Asset's health (based on alarms and the tags applied to the capture traces). A user can click on many of the numbers to view the capture traces or the specific alarm raise pages. 

Asset Alarms Tab

This tab allows a user to solely focus on recent alarm raises on the asset. If an alarm has been raised, the user can jump straight to the alarm raise page.

Asset Playback Tab

The playback tab is designed to give an in depth analysis of an asset, it's most recent events and how most recent behaviour compares to historical behaviour.
