About Events in Asset Health Manager

An event is an occurrence that takes place concerning an asset, such as an inspection or a repair. The Events section on the Asset Health Manager page provides a list of events related to the currently selected asset so that you can easily access this information while reviewing the health indicators for the same asset. You can also view events on the health indicator trend chart.

You can use the event information displayed in Asset Health Manager to monitor the condition of an asset, or to look for trends in the events. For example, if a health indicator has an alert status, you might review the related event information to determine the number of times that piece of equipment has operated outside of normal operating conditions, and for how long each time.

Event Source Records

The event information shown in Asset Health Manager comes from various event source records, such as Work History and Inspection records, that are linked to the selected asset record. Information in event source records is displayed in Asset Health Manager when event mappings have been defined for the event source family.

Event Severities

Events in Asset Health Manager are displayed along with a severity, which is the gravity or seriousness associated with the event. The following table describes the possible event severities.

Severity	Icon	Description

Event Consolidation

You can consolidate events in Asset Health Manager in order to group duplicate events into a single event, called a master event. Master events appear in the Health Summary page instead of the events that you consolidate, and you can manage them as any other event record in AHM.

You can only consolidate events of the same type. When you consolidate events, the Has Consolidated Events relationship links the events that were consolidated to the new master event record that is created during the event consolidation process.
