When we first envisioned the Asset Management screen, we wanted a place for users to quickly get the info they need and get to work. In other words, a screen that drives to action. During the various versions and iterations of this page we tried several views, each one was better than the previous one but lacking in a new way, mostly the ease of access to information. With that in mind, we knew the new iteration should first provide easy access to data. We realized that assets are usually viewed after filtering or searching and having to open categories or the overlay. Or by observing the table but adding or removing columns for different view can be cumbersome, so we got rid of all that. From now on, after searching for assets using the new ‘Search Term Chips’, you will find a new view of Asset Cards.
Asset cards are individual per asset, they consist of general info about the asset, and six sections of bite sized information chips that will answer your quick questions about assets, allow you to easily compare data between assets, and give you exactly what you need to get to work.
An asset card is divided horizontally into two halves, the top half holds general information about the asset:
The bottom half consists of six sections of all the info that was previously available to you if you activated all columns in the old view.
We got positive feedback about the new MTTR card in the dashboard, and the most common request was “Can we have a separate MTTR for the top priorities”, we thought that it was a good idea so now your MTTR is calculated separately per priority.
