Modified on Wed, 6 Nov at 12:07 PM

A Component Asset is an Asset which can be assigned to another Asset, a Parent Asset.
A Component can only be assigned to one Parent.
If Component is in a different zone from the Parent Asset, then it will automatically be moved to the Parent zone.
Parent zone needs to accept Component Asset type.
A Component can be un-assigned from the Parent Asset.
Administrator and Technician users need to have Manage Asset Component permission so that they can assign or detach components.
Components can be inspected and have their own inspection and asset history.
Components are transferred along with the Parent.
Components cannot be transferred by themselves.
Components can have a different Asset Type from the Parent Asset.
A Component Asset can be decommissioned.
Components can be viewed on all Asset dashboards; they have a component icon next to them.
