Disabling and Re-Enabling Linear Asset Management

Linear Asset Management (LAM) is especially designed to meet the requirements of linear asset maintenance. A linear asset is a special type of asset that has an associated length dimension. This dimension is represented through starting and ending points or by specifying the asset length. For the mobile device, the linear asset management functionality enables the field technician to work on orders and notifications that have linear equipment and functional locations. Field personnel can create work orders, notifications, time confirmations, and material confirmations for the linear assets.

From the mobile device, you can view linear data for the following:

  • Work orders

  • Operations

  • Notifications

  • Items

  • Equipment

  • Functional locations

  • Confirmations

  • Measuring points

  • Measurement documents

You can create or edit linear data on characteristic values.

The Linear Asset Management feature is called PM_LINEAR_ASSET_MANAGEMENT. By default, the feature is not enabled.

Use the following OMDOs to configure your LAM feature:

  • LAM_OBJECT_DATA

  • LAM_OFFSET_TYPE

  • LINEAR_REFERENCE_PATTERN

For general information on configuring OMDOS, see the OData Channel Integration Settings Procedures topics found in the Mobile Add-On Configuration Configuration Panel Common Procedures chapter of this guide.
