Changing Assembly Positions is an important function for field staff.  Being able to move positions around quickly and efficiently enhances the workflow and doesn’t detract from the physical task at hand.  The Change Assembly dialogue will be familiar to you as it contains the same basic layout as the pressure and tread depth dialogues, but with a few changes.

To change assembly positions on a vehicle, select a vehicle and press ‘Change Assembly Position’

The one major distinction between this and other dialogue boxes it that the objects displayed contain their own context menu to make things easier.  When you select a position its corresponding assembly is displayed, while the available spares are shown for the selected Site and Location filter.

By not selecting a 'site'   all the available spare will be listed for use

As mentioned earlier each object in this dialogue box has its own edit context menu.  When you have selected the required position, its assembly is displayed.  To work with this position, select it (web) or tap it (iPad) and select its edit menu.

The image bellows shows the assembly associated with position 1 and it’s corresponding edit  menu items.

This menu allows you to efficiently move the currently assembly to either the maintenance pad, to any of the remaining positions, or scrap it.  If you remove the assembly and place it on the maintenance pad, the position will indicate that no assembly is assigned to it by highlighting it with an exclamation point as seen below.

When you move one assembly directly to another position, the assembly that was previously on that position will be moved to the Maintenance Pad

Once an assembly is on the maintenance pad you can carry out further functions on it, similar to those that were available when it was attached to the assembly

In the following image both position 1 and 2 have had their assemblies removed and added to the maintenance pad.  However, you will notice that assembly ASZPA0098S4A-2 is a disabled represented by a grey colour, this means that it has been scrapped.

Scrapped Assemblies can be reinstated if necessary by selecting ‘Reinstate Assembly’ form the edit context menu.  Once reinstated, the assembly can be added to positions or moved to spares.

If there is a scrapped or removed assembly when you have completed the appropriate movements, once you press save you will be presented with the ‘Assembly Movement’ dialogue box.  From here you can determine what assemblies need scrapping and enter the appropriate details such as remaining tread depths.  You can either scrap both the tyre and rim/wheel or one of them individually.  You can see from the dialogue box below, you are also asked to enter tread depths, it is important that you do as it will contribute to the scrap averages.

If tread depths are not entered when scrapping tyres, the scrap averages report will not be accurate.  It highly recommended that you update the tread depths when scrapping tyres.

Finding the spare you require can be is easily achieved by filtering the available spares list by changing the site or location dropdown boxes, or by typing in the asset number in the search field.  Once you have selected the appropriate site/location, you can scroll through the available spares using the scroll button on your mouse or using the list box slider.

Once you have located the required spare assembly, moving them from the available spares list follows the same workflow as moving other assemblies around. When you hover (web) or tap (iPad) on the required assets object, you will be presented with the objects context menu, allowing you to choose where you want to place the assembly.  The following image shows the available locations where the assembly can be moved too.
