Configure Field Rules for Status-based Validations

Field Rules allow you to make specific information for an asset type required, or show a warning that recommended information is missing, when the asset reaches a specific status. This helps teams capture important information at the right point in the asset lifecycle.

Field rules apply only to data capture when an asset changes status. They do not control field visibility, automatically change field values, or validate Attachments or Related Items.

• Required User Permissions

• Rules can be applied to all asset types or restricted to specific asset types 

• When a required rule condition is triggered, users cannot save changes to an asset until the specified fields are completed.

• When users update an asset's status, configured rules trigger an error or warning if the status change does not meet the rule conditions. 

• Active and inactive rules: New rules are active by default and apply when users change an asset's status. Inactive rules do not apply.

• Conflicting rules: If rules conflict, the rule for a specific asset type takes priority over the rule for all asset types. The stricter rule takes priority.

• Configurer la hiérarchie des types d’actifs

• Assigner des groupes de statut aux types d’actifs
