The value in the Criticality field in AMS Asset records indicates the importance of the health of the piece of equipment or location that is associated with the AMS Asset record. This field is unique to GE Digital APM. A corresponding field does not exist in any AMS Analytics data source. Therefore, when data is transferred from an AMS Analytics data source to GE Digital APM and AMS Asset records are created, this field will be empty.
The Criticality field in AMS Asset records is disabled and populated automatically based upon the risk assessment for the Equipment or Functional Location to which the AMS Asset records are linked. Because Asset Criticality Analysis (ACA) is the only feature that allows you to define a risk assessment for an Equipment or Functional Location record, the AMS Analytics implementation assumes that you are also using ACA and that this field is populated automatically.
In addition, the values in the Criticality field of AMS Asset records will be used in combination with values in the Health Index field to calculate the composite health index value for AMS Asset Folder records. After a value exists in the Criticality field of AMS Asset records, when data is collected from an AMS Analytics data source, the Health Index field in AMS Asset Folder records will be populated with a value.
