System Resource Usage Records

System Resource records store information about how a Resource will be used. The following table provides an alphabetical list and description of the fields that exist for the System Resource Usage family and appear by default on the System Resource Usage datasheet. The information in the table reflects the baseline state and behavior of these fields.

This family is enabled for site filtering, which means that records in this family can be assigned to a specific site, and will then only be accessible to users who are assigned to the same site and have the appropriate license and family privileges. See the Site Filtering section of the documentation for more information on using this feature.

Field Caption	Data Type	Description	Behavior and Usage
Duration	Number	The length of time that a Resource will be used by an Action or Risk. If an Action requires a Mechanic Resource for four hours, then the Duration would be four.	By default, this value is set to 0 (zero).
Duration Units	Character	The units of time associated with the value in the Duration field. If an Action requires a Mechanic Resource for four hours, then the Duration Units would be Hours.	You can select a value from the following options: Hours Days Weeks Months Years
GUID	Character	A value that uniquely identifies the System Resource Usage record within a System Reliability Analysis.	This value is generated automatically by the GE Digital APM system and disabled. In System Reliability Analyses, GUIDs are used to identify records because Entity Keys will not exist until a record is saved. Because a System Reliability Analysis may contain unsaved records, it is necessary to use a value that uniquely identifies those records within the system.
Quantity	Number	The quantity of a Resource that will be used by an Action or Risk. If an Action requires three Mechanic Resources, then the quantity would be three.	By default, this value is set to 1 (one).
Resource List	Character	Contains a list of resources that can be assigned to a Risk or an Action.	You can select a Resource from the list to assign to a Risk or an Action.
