Asset meters reading can be entered in the inventory usage application for the selected rotating asset in the inventory usage line. The meter readings can be entered from the following ‘Asset Meter’ dialog. The user can add more columns as needed from asset meter table.

Steps to add Asset Meter table to enter readings:

1. Create a relationship using database configuration application for Invuseline object.

Relationship Name: ASSETMETER

Parent object: INVUSELINE

Child Object: ASSETMETER

Where clause: assetnum=:rotassetnum and siteid=:siteid

2. Update the Invusage presentation. Export the invusage presentation from Application designer application. Add the following dialog:

1. Add the dialog:

<dialog id ="assetmeterinfo" label= "Asset Meter"   parentdatasrc="main_invuselinetab_table"  relationship="ASSETMETER">

    <table id=" assetmeterinfo_table" selectmode="single" label="Meters" width="900">

        <tablebody id=" assetmeterinfo_table_tablebody" displayrowsperpage="15" filterable="true" >

          <tablecol id=" assetmeterinfo_table_tablebody_2" dataattribute="assetnum" inputmode="readonly"  />

          <tablecol id=” assetmeterinfo_table_tablebody_4" dataattribute="metername"  />

          <tablecol id=" assetmeterinfo_table_tablebody_5" dataattribute="newreading" lookup="valuelist" />

          <tablecol id=" assetmeterinfo_table_tablebody_6" dataattribute="newreadingdate"  lookup="datelookup"/>

          <tablecol id=" assetmeterinfo_table_tablebody_7" dataattribute="inspector"  lookup="person" />

        </tablebody> 

    </table>

     <buttongroup id=" assetmeterinfo_2" >

                    <pushbutton id=" assetmeterinfo2_1" label="OK" default="true" mxevent="dialogok" />

                    <pushbutton id=" assetmeterinfo_2_2" label="Cancel" mxevent="dialogcancel" />

    </buttongroup>

  </dialog>  

2. Search for  table id="main_invuselinetab_table" in the presentation.

Add the following icon before tablecol id = “main_invuselinetab_table_tablebody_10” as follows:

<tablecol id="main_invuselinetab_table_tablebody_15" type="event" mxevent="assetmeterinfo" mxevent_icon="appimg_meter.gif" mxevent_desc="Asset Meter table" sortable="false" filterable="false" hidden="false"/>

              <tablecol id="main_invuselinetab_table_tablebody_10" type="event" mxevent="toggledeleterow" mxevent_icon="btn_garbage.gif" mxevent_desc="Mark Row for Delete" sortable="false" filterable="false" hidden="false"/>

Some of the Maximo customers have asked for adding meter readings from the Inventory Usage Application.
