I am trying to fetch information for Category Objects.   We can see a great usage of having Category Objects in the Equipment structure, The Category would match very fine to represent the customer location and having functional and / or serial objects for the category.   

 

The Current logic of the category is:

  • One may NOT have any Functional object as a child to the category object
  • The category can ONLY have one parent

 

Can someone explain how the category of funcitonal objects are mentioned to be performed by the Category object?

Just used functional objects as the place holders.  Category objects are just for inspecting and billing a group of similar objects for service management such as motion detectors for a security company.  They work well on Service Contracts.

… or locational or other structures/parents?

Good point @Mathias Dahl . Location levels can  meaningfully be visualized, if we use the Location Structure in EON. 

Check below example, where the 10th Floor Copiers and Printers are placed properly in both Functional Structure and Location (Left & Right Wing) structures in the same EON instance.

 

 

Hope this would help :grinning: ?
