AM23.1 - Asset Attributes

This program keeps unlimited user-definable additional information about an
asset (i.e., lease, license, and/or insurance information). The program is
used in conjunction with the Matrix module where elements, attributes,
templates, attribute values, lists, and views can be defined. AM23.1 (Asset
Attributes) lets you create attributes, attribute values, and lists. You can
also use templates defined in the Attribute Matrix module with this program.

    AMASTMXVAL - Primary file. Used to assign values to attributes.

    MXLISTHDR  - Updates the list header with the fact that a new attribute has
                 been defined and the attribute list needs to be rebuilt.

    MXLISTMBR  - Used to validate the attribute list.

    MXOBJCAT   - Updates the usage count.


Referenced Files

    AMASSET    - Used to validate the asset.

    MXCATDEF   - Validates attributes.

    MXELEMENT  - Validates the data type and size of each attribute.

    MXLISTDTL  - Used to validate list detail.

    MXLISTMBR  - Used to validate the attribute list.

    MXTMPLDTL  - Validates template detail.

    MXTMPLHDR  - Validates the template.

    MXVALIDATE - Used to validate valid values for attributes.


AM23.2 - Values By Asset Attributes

This subform lets you assign values to the asset attributes defined in AM23.1
(Asset Attributes).

Use AM23.1 to assign attributes to assets for tracking additional
information not delivered on Asset Management forms. These user-defined
attributes function as additional form fields. After assigning attribute
values in this subform, you can select and sort attribute values for asset
reporting and analysis.

Use this subform to create a new asset list by copying an existing asset list.

The existing list must first have been defined in MX10.1 (List).

Updated Files

    MXLISTDTL  - Primary file updated by the program. This file consists of
                 matrix list detail records which are used to define and access
                 accounting unit detail information.

    MXLISTHDR  - Primary file updated by the program. This file contains matrix
                 list category values that can be sorted by a maximum of eight
                 categories; the accounting
