The default landing page and the primary screen within Lucidity Asset is the Asset Register page. The asset register lists all assets within the organisation.
From the Asset Register page of Lucidity Access, administrators can:
View assets by asset type
View asset maintenance status
View associated forms from Lucidity InForm for particular assets
Add or edit assets
Copy assets
Archive and delete assets
Manage maintenance tasks
Asset Type
Assets are divided into a number of asset types. Within each asset type, there are a number of linked sub-types which can be used to further filter and differentiate between assets.
All Assets are viewable from the 'All' menu, whereas individual asset types are viewable as individual registers as required.
Some examples of possible asset types and sub-types are listed below.
Asset Type | Asset Sub-Type |
---|---|
Mobile Plant | Space Craft |
Forklift | |
Trailer | |
Power Tools | Battery Drills |
Saw | |
Hot Air Guns | |
Computer and Mobile Devices | Desktop |
Laptop | |
Mobile Phone | |
Tablet |
Next Maintenance Status
When a due date or usage is assigned to a maintenance task, a status colour code is applied to the due date or usage. The colour code is the same as that used within other Lucidity Software modules, such as Lucidity Competency.
The overall asset maintenance Status is displayed on the asset register and is determined by the 'most overdue' due date or usage of any individual maintenance task. For example, if there are two maintenance tasks open for an asset and one is due in 90 days and one is due in 5 days, the overall maintenance status will be Orange or 'Due < 1 month' to correspond to the task due in 5 days. View the Asset Maintenance page in this user guide for more details.
Maintenance Status | Colour | Description |
---|---|---|
Current | Green | All open tasks/ maintenance activities due are more than one month in the future. |
Due < 1 month | Orange | One or more open tasks/ maintenance activities are less than one month in the future, and none are overdue. |
Overdue | Red | One or more open tasks/ maintenance activities are overdue. |
