🧠 You Should Know:

Before diving into the video, consider the following:
​

The life cycle of an asset, whether being manually recreated in your system or bought new, will follow the same statuses:


​Requested ➡️ Approved ➡️ Purchased ➡️ In Service ➡️ Disposed

Status

Description

1. Requested


​

When an equipment entry is initially created, it is placed in the Requested status. It will remain in the requested status until an authorized user approves it.

2. Approved

Once a piece of equipment has been approved by an authorized user, it moves to the Approved status.

3. Purchased

Once a piece of equipment has been approved by an authorized user, and the Purchased Date has been entered on the Info tab of the Equipment screen, the equipment will advance to the Purchased status.

4. In Service

Once approved, and the In Service Date has been entered, the equipment will advance to the In Service status. The equipment will remain in this status for its useful life.
​
​This is the stage you will be able to update its tracking information such as meter reading entries and service event entries.

5. Disposed

When an asset can no longer be used or repaired, the equipment will advance to the Disposed status when Disposal Date has been entered.
