Contacts and Components

In Assets, the Contacts and Components tab shows people linked to your asset, lists all the components that make up up the asset, and identifies any larger systems of which your asset is a component.

Your organization's administrator sets up a default form within the Classic TMS modules, which varies its display of tabs, field groupings, and fields, depending on whether it's in Create, Update, or Query mode.

The tabs and fields you see within this content may differ from those configured by your organization's administrator. Use this information as a guideline.

The default page view is List view, which displays all information in a spreadsheet-like format. Card view is where you can view the same items as blocks. You have the option to switch between views on desktop platforms. Click either the list or card icon located at the upper right of the list. Mobile phone and tablet devices only display Card view.

In the Contacts section, you can associate a person with your asset. Contacts serve as primary resources, individuals who should be contacted first in case the asset requires repair. Add contacts in the order they are to be reached.

  • Resource ID: Unique identifier for an individual used for tracking the contributions and responsibilities of the resource person.

  • Name: First and last name of the individual.

  • Phone: Best contact phone number for the person.

  • Pager: Used to send a work order to a resource via an alphanumeric pager.

Use the Part of section to list any other assets that include the asset you are working on as a component.

  • Number: The number of the asset that includes your asset.

  • Asset description: Brief summary to provide more details.
