    Por Que e Quando Desempenhar Esta Tarefa

    This procedure describes how an ITIL agent must complete an incident form to document and track an Enterprise Asset Management incident. Refer to Incident Management for more in-depth information on creating and managing incidents.

    Procedimento

    1. Create an incident.
      After your incident is created, you are automatically redirected to the Incidents list.
    2. From the list of available incidents, select the incident that you created in the previous step.
    3. On the form header of your incident record, select the Additional actions menu icon (Additional actions menu icon.) and then select View > Enterprise Asset.
      This option sets your incident record to the Enterprise Asset Management incident form view, which contains additional fields that are specific to Enterprise Asset Management.
    4. After the form reloads in the Enterprise Asset Management incident form view, specify the asset that is affected by this incident.
      1. Select the Lookup using list icon (Lookup using list icon.) in the Asset field.
      2. In the Assets pop-up window, search for and select the asset that is affected by this incident.
        The pop-up window closes and you automatically return to the Incident form.
      3. On the form header, select the Additional actions menu icon (Additional actions menu icon.) and then select Save.
      When the form reloads, the Configuration item field and Affected Assets related list update automatically based on the asset that you selected.
      Nota:
      The Configuration item field remains empty if you select a consumable asset.
      Importante:
      If you select a multi-component asset, the Affected Assets related list displays only the parent asset. You must manually add each child asset that is affected by this incident. See step 5 for more details.
    5. If you selected a multi-component asset in the previous step, specify the child assets that are affected by this incident.
      1. On the Affected Assets related list, select Edit.
      2. In the Collection list on the Edit Members form, search for and select a child asset that is affected by this incident.
        Nota:
        By default, the Edit Members form automatically runs a search filter to display only the relevant child assets in the Collection list.
      3. Select the Add icon (Add icon.) to move the selected child asset to the Affected Assets List.
      4. Repeat steps b and c for each child asset that is affected by this incident.
      5. Select Save.
      6. After you return to the Incident form, select Update.
