If some of your assets are made up of components that have their own servicing or maintenance requirements, you can use the Sub Assets feature. This allows you to have one main (parent) asset, and its components are linked to it as sub assets.
Scenarios
- You might have the main asset as an air conditioner main unit and the sub assets might be the inside unit, outside unit, and the air filter
- You can use a vehicle as the main asset and have a ladder, toolbox, and first-aid kit as sub assets
- You may have a water heater as a main asset and the tempering valve, pressure limiting valve, and pressure relief valve as sub assets.
