About site-specific properties

Some organizations maintain statuses for tools in their databases such as:

• Trial

• Phased in

• Operational

• Phased out

• Obsolete

These statuses can also be dependent on location. For example, a tool assembly may be operational in the American plants but already be phased out in the Chinese plants.

You can manage these such statuses using site-specific properties. The general procedure for doing this is as follows:

Note

Your administrator must set up the site-specific properties

1. Assign site-specific properties to a resource.

You do not need to edit a resource to add site-specific properties to it. This has the advantage that you can add site-specific data to a resource to which you do not have write access.

2. Search for a resource by site.
