Asset state workflow
Asset state workflows define the valid transitions between states for a given asset.
These workflows help enforce logical progressions through the asset lifecycle, such as moving
from inspection to cleaning, then to available.
They are configurable to match operational requirements and may include restrictions based on user roles or timing rules.
Each workflow maps the current state of an asset to one or more permissible target states. For example, an asset in the "Requires repair" state might only be allowed to transition to 'Available' after a successful maintenance procedure has been recorded.
These are just some ways in which workflows can help you::
- Ensure assets follow approved operational processes
- Prevent unauthorized or illogical state changes
- Define security roles that control who can perform transitions
- Automate certain transitions based on time or system events
Workflow configuration is flexible and can be tailored for different asset types, such as machines, tools, or containers. A visual representation of the workflow can help maintenance teams understand allowed transitions and streamline their operations.
