Asset model process - Business rules

The asset model workflow relies on a few simple business rules. Rules repeat from one phase to another when the end user can make a change to a field affected by a business rule during that phase.

Search for	Example	Results
A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Search for	Operator	Example
Two or more words in the same topic	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`
Either word in a topic	`OR` `or` `\|` (pipe)	`cat OR dog` `cat \| dog`
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase	`NOT` `not` `!` (exclamation point)	`NOT cat` `! dog`
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`
A combination of search types	`( )` parentheses	`cat + (dog \| mouse)` `cat \| dog + (! mouse)`

Asset model global rules

In the out-of-the-box asset model workflow, the rules detailed for each of the following events apply to all processes.

Event	Condition	Service Management actions
After change	Model type is not Infrastructure & Peripheral	Infrastructure & peripheral subtype = null
	Category is null or false	Validate: Asset type is not empty If the model is not to be a folder or category, the model type must be specified.
	Infrastructure & peripheral subtype is Rack, Fire Protection, Cooling, Power Supply, or Security Control	Infrastructure & peripheral category = Infrastructure
	Infrastructure & peripheral subtype is Monitor, Mass Storage, RFID, Projector, or Telecommunication	Infrastructure & peripheral category = Peripheral
	Model type is not Device	Device subtype = null
	Category is empty	Category = false
	Parent model is not empty	Full name = Parent model Full name + "/" + Display label
	Parent model is empty	Full name = Display label
	Full name is changed	Update Full name of child models
	Cost type is not empty, Parent model is changed, and Cost type of the parent model is not empty	Cost type = Cost type of the parent model
Rendering	Model type is not Infrastructure & Peripheral	Infrastructure & peripheral subtype = hidden
	Model type is not Infrastructure & Peripheral	Device subtype = hidden
	Model type is not Infrastructure & Peripheral	Infrastructure & peripheral category = hidden
	Model type is not License	License subtype = hidden
	Category is true	Total amount = hidden
	Category is true	Currency = hidden
	Model type is not blank	Restrict selectable Parent model according to current model type.
	Depreciation scheme is not Geometric	Hide Depreciation rate
	None	Show only active cost types in the Cost type drop-down list
	Model type is empty	Show only models that are not duplicated in the Parent model drop-down list
