13.2 Window component names and usage
This section describes the names of the window components used to execute asset management jobs, and explains how to use these components.
Asset Console consists of various windows for asset management jobs. The following figure shows the names of the window components.
|
- Simple search condition
-
To specify a group or location as a search condition or to specify registration and update values, simply select the corresponding group and location on the tree.
Use the tabs to switch between groups and locations.
The displayed group and location depend on the user role. For details about the access permission settings by user role, see 5.1.3 Assigning access permissions according to organizational hierarchy.
Also, if divisions are assigned to the login user, Divisions will be displayed when the Group tab is selected. Note that the assigned division names and division group names will be displayed for Divisions. Selecting a division name and group name from this tree enables you to specify group search conditions and values to be registered.
For details about how to configure settings for Divisions, see 16.1.6 Viewing and editing divisions. For details about selecting a division to use as a search condition or a value to be registered, see 13.6 Job menus that can be used to specify divisions as search conditions and values to be registered.
