Core TSIs : Assets : Working with Assets and Building Elements : Changing an asset’s or a building element’s status
Changing an asset’s or a building element’s status
Various statuses can be assigned to assets and building elements. The available status transitions depend on the current asset status. Every newly added asset is automatically assigned the Acquired status. Only assets / building elements with the Disposed of status can be transferred to the archive. To change an asset’s or building element’s status, proceed as follows:
Procedure
1. Go to Assets selection level, click the asset(s)/ building element(s) whose status you want to change.
* 
To change the status of several assets/building elements simultaneously, use Action on selection. For details on using Action on selection, see Fundamentals.
2. On the Status transitions action panel, click the required status.
The status is changed.
Changing the status to Disposed of has consequences for any associated maintenance activity definitions. They are either:
Deleted, if no maintenance orders have been generated yet.
Updated, if maintenance orders have already been generated. The maintenance activity definition’s end date-time will be brought forward to the end date-time of the last generated order.
