Manage object parts

Break down complex objects into parts and manage them per object.

Object parts help you register components within a larger object.

This is useful for installations that contain multiple serviceable parts.

Why use parts

Parts give more detail without creating a full separate object structure for every component.

You can use them to record component data such as quantity, serial details, or service information.

2

Open the parts section

Go to the part or component section of the object.

3

Add a part

Create a new part and enter the basic details.

4

Add relevant dates and fields

5

Save

It is now linked to the object.
