Family Field Descriptions

Asset Strategy Records

The following table provides an alphabetical list and description of the fields that exist in the Asset Strategy family. 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.

Field	Data Type	Description	Behavior and Usage
Description	Text	A description of the strategy.	The Text Editor window appears, on which you can enter a description.
Plan Length	Numeric	The number of years for which you want to calculate costs.	This value will be used to determine the number of datapoints (bars) on the Cost Projection graph.
Risk Analysis Type	List	A value that indicates whether the strategy results (shown in the graphs) are based on an ASO Analysis or not.	The field will contain one of the following values: Simulation: The strategy results are based on an ASO Analysis. Qualitative: The strategy results are not based on an ASO Analysis. Note the following about the Risk Analysis Type field: If the Asset Strategy has never been used to create an ASO Analysis and is not included in an ASO Analysis, the value will be set to Qualitative, and the field will be disabled. If you create an ASO Analysis from the Asset Strategy or include the Asset Strategy in an ASO Analysis by creating an analysis from a System Strategy or Unit Strategy that includes the Asset Strategy, the value will be changed automatically to Simulation . If the Asset Strategy was used to create an ASO Analysis, the value will be set to Simulation, and the field will be enabled. If needed, you can change the value to Qualitative to update the strategy results so that they are no longer based on the ASO Analysis. If you change the value to Qualitative, the ASO Analysis will not be deleted or unlinked from the Asset Strategy. If the Asset Strategy is included in an ASO Analysis but was not used to create the analysis, the value will be set to Simulation, and the field will be disabled. The value will be changed automatically to Qualitative only if the Risk Analysis Type in the System Strategy or Unit Strategy that includes the Asset Strategy is set to Qualitative.
Strategy ID	Character	The ID of the strategy.	Does not have to be unique.
Strategy Notes	Text	Any additional information you want to provide about the strategy.	The Text Editor window appears, on which you can enter any notes.
