System records are a type of Asset record used to group other assets together in a "Parent-Child" relationship. For example a plant might have a conveyor "System" made up of multiple belts entered as "Equipment" records. System records are managed from their record page where their Status and overall condition are recorded.

 

Like other Asset records, Work Orders can be created for Systems when they require maintenance.

1. Select Assets.
2. Select Systems.
3. Select New.
4. Enter a System ID.
5. Select Save.
