Asset Area Data

Asset Area Overview​

The asset area data view is launched after clicking on a asset area name from the DataStore dashboard or asset record view.

The last updated date shows when the last edit was made to the asset area.

Telecoms asset records​

For a Telecoms asset, open Asset Data, then Telecoms Assets, and select the record name. The standard Sources, General, Proposals, and History tabs are available for Telecoms records.

Telecoms fields such as Quantity, Asset Type, Manufacturer, Model, and renewal dates can also be used in Rail BI planning. If a value needs correcting, use the standard proposal workflow where the field is editable. Some values may be supplied by a source system and may not be directly editable.

Sources​

The source section shows the source of the asset area data. Select the sources icon to view the source data.

Sources

By selecting one of the data sources, only information that was gathered from that source is displayed. To return to the previous view, select the source name for a second time.

SS Elements are sourced directly from Ellipse. ALCRM level crossings are imported into DataStore. Level crossings are mapped to the interlocking stored as their SSADS parent before geographic matching is attempted. The Sources view distinguishes which values came from each source, including the source shown for Telecoms asset data.

Data Tabs​

Each asset area is broken down into three data tabs, each displaying a different subset of information.

General​

The general tab displays all of the asset area information held in DataStore.

General view

Specific fields of this data (i.e. Control Points) link directly to further information about that field.

Some fields (such as CP Comments) may show truncated data. When clicking the "view more" icon, a pop-up will display the full expanded information for this field.

Proposals​

User Permissions

Only users with the Asset Editor permission can administer proposals.

Asset area proposals can be viewed by selecting the "Proposals" option from the menu bar.

Site proposals

This data includes the fields to be updated, along with source of the update and the user who proposed the change.

History​

The history tab details any changes or new information that has been added to the asset area record.

History view

This data includes the fields updated, the date the update was made, the user that requested the change and who approved it.
