This article explains how to edit an asset's details and parameter values. The available product information does not specify a separate setting for making an asset questionnaire visible, invisible, or mandatory.
Edit an asset's details and parameters
- Open the asset.
- Change the asset details or values in Parameters.
- Select Save.
Parameter values are submitted first and the compliance rules are then run again. If the changes create new technical recommendations, the application reports how many were created. Each change is recorded in Activity History with the user and time.
If a parameter value changed, the application may show Record why this changed. Enter an optional Reason for change, then select Save. Select Cancel to abandon the save.
Understand approval after editing
An Inspector or higher can write changes directly to an asset. If you do not have approval rights, the edit is stored as a pending modification and the asset returns to pending approval until a reviewer accepts it.
An asset that is waiting for approval cannot be edited by anyone, including the person who created the modification. It must be approved or rejected before further edits can be made.
Work with required parameters
When editing an asset during a risk assessment, fields come from the asset type. Under an enforcing Control Regime, the assessment control remains disabled until every required parameter has been filled in and saved.
- To change a required value, type a new value over the existing one.
- Clearing a required value does not delete the stored value. If it is the only change, the application warns that the previous value will be kept.
- Clearing an optional parameter deletes its value.
Questionnaire visibility and mandatory settings
The supplied product information does not identify a user interface control for making an asset questionnaire visible or invisible, or for changing whether the questionnaire itself is mandatory. It only confirms that individual asset parameters can be required under an enforcing Control Regime.
