Asset Actions
Asset Actions update the status of an asset — for example, marking a machine as Faulty or Under Maintenance — and record a description explaining why the change happened. Use these to keep asset status in sync with real-world conditions automatically, instead of updating it manually.
Asset Actions can be associated with Alert / Action Rules or Schedule Actions, so an asset’s status changes automatically when the conditions you define are met.
