Knowledge Base Explorer

Knowledge Base Explorer

The Knowledge Base Explorer is a Hierarchy of Asset Types starting at the top level with categories, then below them, possibly more categories or real Asset Types or a mix of both:

There can be many levels but it pays to keep it as simple as possible. For example:

•      Sewers > Sewer Pipes > Earthenware > 450mm Earthenware Sewer Main

•      Buildings > Depot Building

The two panels of the Knowledge Explorer as follows:

•      On the left is the Hierarchy of Asset Types, which can be “Drilled” down and up by clicking on the + and - buttons on the left of each Asset Type or can be selected by clicking on an Asset Type icon

•      On the right is a list of the items immediately below (belonging to) the Asset Type selected in the Hierarchy on the left. The list can be more Asset Types or Standard Works Management items or both:

•      Asset Type

•      Standard Inspection

•      Standard Defect

•      Standard Action

Note: An Asset Type selected in the Hierarchy, which has Asset Types below it, is referred to as the Parent and the sub-Asset Types below it are referred to as its children.
