Parent widget

What is the Parent widget used for?

The Parent widget allows an operator to modify the parent of a resource during an intervention. Whether it is the main resource of the intervention, or the resources of the databases widgets.

The supervisor defines whether the operator can:

• Can see the parent with or without its attributes
• Can see the parent and modify its attributes
• Modify the parent (add, remove, change) and view / modify its attributes

Each option can be easily set from the studio.

Where is the Parent widget located?

The Parent widget is located in your editing studio, in the Databases category.

How to configure it?

Within the settings, you can choose whether the operator can modify the parent resource or only view it.

If editing is enabled, you can define pre-selection criteria. These criteria may relate to:

• names of the assets
• parents of the assets
• databases of the assets
• the date of creation and / or modification of assets
• attributes of assets

Context: Imagine a company with several projects in progress. Each site is an asset in the "Sites" database.

• Each site has assets available: heavy equipment, vehicles, etc.
• Each piece of asset is linked to the site by family relationship. They are in the "Equipment" database.
• Imagine an operator working on a construction site. He wants to audit the asset present and reassign those that have changed sites or returned to a storage warehouse.
