Synchronize Equipment or Functional Location Field in a Task List

If a maintenance item contains a value in either the Functional Location or Equipment field, after you create a task list that is linked to that maintenance item, you can use the following instructions to synchronize those values between the maintenance item and task list.

Steps

Access an existing ASI package.
In the left pane, in the WMI tree for the package, select the maintenance item node representing the record that is linked to the task list whose equipment or functional location field you want to synchronize.

The workspace for that maintenance item appears, displaying the datasheet in the Details section of the record.
In the upper-right corner of the workspace, select Synchronize.

The reference objects are synchronized.

Results

If the maintenance item contains a value in the Functional Location or Equipment field, the value is copied to the Functional Location or Equipment field in the task list.
The field in the Task List record, to which the value was copied, is disabled, ensuring that the two values will never be different.

Note: If you later decide to create a general task list from this task list, you can remove the value from the Equipment or Functional Location field in the maintenance item, which will cause it to be removed automatically from the task list.
