In Asset Strategy Management, users will only see strategy information related to their assigned site(s).
Asset Strategies
Site filtering is applied to asset strategies by one of the following methods:
System Strategies
Site filtering is applied to system strategies by one of the following methods:
Assigning an asset strategy with an assigned site to the system strategy: If the system was initially created as global, and you assign an asset strategy to the system, the system will inherit the site of the asset strategy.
Note: All strategies in a system must be of the same site.
Note: When you create a new asset strategy within a system strategy, the new asset strategy inherits the site from the system strategy, and you are only able to add assets to the asset strategy that are of the same site.
Unit Strategies
Site filtering is applied to unit strategies by one of the following methods:
Assigning a system strategy with an assigned site to the unit strategy: If the unit was initially created as global, and you assign a system to the unit strategy, the unit will inherit the site of the system strategy.
Note: All system strategies in a unit must be of the same site.
Asset Strategy Templates
The Strategy Template family is not enabled for site filtering. All records under a template are designated as Global. Templates can be applied as a copy to strategies from any site as long as their risk matrices match. The template then controls strategies from multiple sites as a master. If the template has controlled strategies from multiple sites, and you do not have permissions for all of those sites, you will not be able to activate the template.
Consider an organization that has two sites, Site X and Site Y. Further, and then consider the following scenarios:
Scenario 1: User assigned to both Site X and Site Y links assets to a strategy
Equipment 1 is assigned to Site X and Equipment 2 is assigned to Site Y. Asset Strategy 1 is assigned to Site Y. The user links Equipment 2 to Asset Strategy 1, because they share the same site (Site Y).
The user is unable to link Equipment 1 to Asset Strategy 1, because Equipment 1 would not appear in the list of available assets to link there due to site incompatibility. So, even though this multi-site user can view both Equipment 1 and Equipment 2, they cannot link an equipment to a strategy with an incompatible site assignment.
Scenario 2: User assigned to both Site X and Site Y links an asset strategy to a system strategy
Asset Strategy 1 is assigned to Site Y and System Strategy 1 is a global record. The user links Asset Strategy 1 to System Strategy 1, which sets the site for System Strategy 1 as Site Y.
Now, only asset strategies with the Site Y assignment are able to added to System Strategy 1.
Scenario 3: User assigned to both Site X and Site Y links a system strategy to a unit strategy
Unit Strategy 1 is assigned to Site Y and System Strategy 1 is a global record. The user adds System Strategy 1 to Unit Strategy 1, which sets the site for System Strategy 1 as Site Y.
Scenario 4: User assigned to Site X and Site Y applies a template to a strategy
Asset Strategy 1 is assigned to Site Y and Asset Strategy 2 is assigned to Site X. The user applies Template A to Asset Strategy 1 and to Asset Strategy 2, even though have separate site assignments.
