ASM facilitates the creation of multiple records to help you store information about a suggested strategy separately from information about the current strategy. The first step to creating any strategy is to create an Asset Strategy record. When you first save an Asset Strategy record, GE Digital APM creates the following records, which are linked automatically to the Asset Strategy record:
- Proposed Strategy
- Active Strategy
These records serve as containers to identify the strategy using information such as the strategy ID and description. The records will be linked automatically to other records as you expand the strategy by adding Action records and Risk records and assessing the risk.
Ultimately, the Proposed Strategy record and the records to which it is linked represent the strategy that you propose the company implement. The Active Strategy record and the records to which it is linked represent the strategy that the company is currently implementing.
When you modify an Asset Strategy that is in the Active state, causing its state to change to Modified, GE Digital APM captures your changes in the Proposed Strategy record and other records to which it is linked. When you later activate the strategy, the GE Digital APM system copies the information from the Proposed Strategy record (and appropriate linked records) to the Active Strategy record (and appropriate linked records).
The Proposed Strategy record and its linked records are then identical to the Active Strategy record and its linked records until additional changes are made, which causes the cycle to continue.
