Model fields for Enterprise Asset Management

Model Details


Field	Description
Display name	Name of the model. A system property called glide.cmdb_model.display_name.shorten controls how software model display names are generated.
Manufacturer	The company that built the model.
Name	The manufacturer-assigned name of the model or abstract name specified by the model manager, such as Field Agent Laptop.
Short description	A brief description of the model.
Model categories	The category to which the model belongs to. This is a read-only field.
Model type Note: This field doesn’t appear if you’re creating a pallet model.	Type of multi-component model. The following are the options to choose from: Simple Consumable Pre-assembled User-assembled
Asset tracking strategy Note: This field doesn’t appear if you’re creating a pallet model.	Process that is used to track the asset. Options are Leave to category, Create consumable asset, Don't create assets.
Asset tracking unit	Unit that is used to measure the asset. Options are Individual Unitand Fixed Fee.
Acquisition method	The method for purchasing the model. Options are Both, Buy, or Lease.
Model number	The specific model number assigned to the item by the manufacturer.
Barcode	The barcode number assigned to the model. Barcodes are assigned by the manufacturer.
Owner	The person responsible for the model.
Status	The status of the model. By default, the newly created model is in Build status. Once you define the model and its components, you can change the status of the model. The other status options are In Production, Retired, and Sold.
Picture	An image that represents the model. Select the Attach image link to choose and attach an image. Once you attach the image, the link changes to View image.
Certified	The option that determines whether the model is approved for use.
Comments	Information about the model that would be helpful for others to know.
Calculated lifecycle template	Lifecycle template to calculate lifecycle dates. This template can be assigned to models
Calculated lifecycle start date	Start date from which the Phase start date and Phase end date are calculated for each lifecycle phase defined in the Calculated lifecycle template that you selected.

Financials


Field	Description
Cost	The cost of a single unit of the model.
TCO benchmark cost	Specify a TCO benchmark cost for the model.
TCO benchmark threshold	The TCO benchmark threshold is a percentage of the TCO benchmark cost where you want to be alerted that the cost is approaching the benchmark. By default the percentage is 75%. For example, if the TCO benchmark cost is $100 then the TCO benchmark threshold is $75. If you set the TCO benchmark cost, this field is automatically calculated. You can change the percentage in the asset_tco_benchmark_threshold_percentage system property.
Average assets TCO	Indicates the average Asset TCO value for all assets in the report source. For example, if you have 10 assets in a report source, and adding up all of the Asset TCO values for all assets totals 100,000, then the average asset TCO is 10,000.
Expenditure type	The type of expenditure. Choose from the following: Capex: Capital expenditure is a one-time expenditure, where the value is realized over the years. For example, a photocopier. Opex: Operational expenditure is an ongoing expenditure. For example, toners for the photocopier.
Useful life (months)	The number of months that the model can be used for.
Depreciation	The depreciation scheme for the model.
Salvage value	The estimated value that an asset realizes upon its sale at the end of its useful life. This value must be less than or equal to the cost of the asset.

Failure Risk

Values in the Likelihood and Impact fields appear only if the configuration records for risk likelihood and risk impact are frozen.


Field	Description
Failure likelihood	The likelihood values for the risk score. The configuration values that you created for risk likelihood appear as options in this field. The options appear in the format of `value-label`. For example, `1-Low` where 1 is the value and Low is the label. For details, see Create configuration values for risk likelihood.
Failure impact	The impact values for the risk score. The configuration values that you create for risk impact appear as options in this field. The options appear in the format of `value-label`. For example, `2-Medium` where 2 is the value and Medium is the label. For details, see Create configuration values for risk impact.
Failure risk score	The risk score is automatically populated based on the likelihood and impact values.
