Change Management
You can flag certain types of objects as being subject to change control. This is typically done when the objects are created.
When an object is subject to change control, and once the object has been approved, you will be restricted in changing any descriptive data or associated data. Changes can only be made to these objects by initiating the change process through a change request. When a change request is made, you can identify the principle affected document, tag, physical item, or virtual item group that requires the change.
A change effects analysis report can be generated, which finds all associated objects linked to such objects. From the change effects analysis report, you can then select any additional objects which must be changed within the scope of the same change event.
Once a change request is approved, AssetWise assists you to implement the changes to the affected objects, while ensuring that all AssetWise users are kept informed of the status of the change from initial request to final implementation.
