Object

The Object menu allows advanced work with objects in ALVAO Asset Management.

Features:

Use function - Use sum function on the object selected in the tree.
Move - move the object selected in the tree or table.
Check uniqueness - Check the uniqueness of objects according to the properties that are set as unique.

Note:
The value of a unique property must be unique (i.e., different for two different objects with that property). A typical unique property is a inventory number.
Unify objects - unify objects as per the template in object templates.
Diagram of links - In a web browser, displays the ALVAO WebApp page with the link diagram of the currently selected object in the tree. This command is available only if the ALVAO Configuration Management module is activated. The command can only be used by users with privilege to view the constraints diagram.
Draw links in MS Visio - opens the MS Visio window and draws the constraints diagram of the currently selected object in the tree. The command is available only if the ALVAO Configuration Management module is activated. The command can only be used by users with privilege to view the constraint diagram.
Load XML - Load new objects from the XML file into the currently selected object in the tree.

Note:
If you have also loaded icons from the file, restart the AM Console to display them correctly.
If AM Console is connected via a web service, this command is not available.
Save as XML - save the selected object, including the subtree, to an xml file.

Note:
If the AM Console is connected via a web service, this command is not available.
Load CSV - launch the wizard to read objects from a CSV file. New objects will be created in the tree under the currently selected object.

Tip:
To import objects from CSV on a regular basis, you can use the ImportUtil utility, e.g. in a scheduled job on the server.
