How to Configure TM Master V2 to Start Using the Movable Assets Module

Some configurations are required to start using the “Movable assets” module. All configurations should be made in the office installation.  

Defining “Movable component category”

To add your “movable component categories” to the system, do the following.

1. Start and log on to TM Master V2 at the office using an admin enabled user.
2. Click [Administration] → [Codes] → Select the “Movable asset category” code table.
3. Click [New]
4. Enter your Category name, and a code value.
5. Click [OK]

Typical values would be “ROV” or “Seismic Equipment”. You can create as many movable component categories as you require.  

Add units to one or more movable component category. 

To create a movable component on any of your units, you will first need to add the unit to one of your movable component categories. Keep in mind that when a unit has been added to a movable component category, the unit will receive updates for all components within that category.

1. Start and log on to TM Master V2 at the office using an account with the correct user rights (ref chapter movable chapter user rights).
2. Click [Fleet] → [Units] → Double click the unit in question. → “Movable Assets” tab.

The movable asset tab 

1. Select (tick) the movable component categories that you wish the unit to be able to receive . A Unit can receive more than one category at the same time.

All updates made to the components within the selected category as well as new components   added to the category will now be replicated to the unit.  Component data already in the database at the time a unit is added to the movable component category is not automatically transferred \ replicated to the unit. The amount of data related to a movable component category can be very large. To avoid clogging your replication with large replication files, you have 2 options to transfer the required initial data.

1. Transfer all initial data by normal replication files.

By ticking the “Let the system replicate all components for new categories”, the next service loop will export all data related to the selected movable component category to a replication file in the COMM folder.  

2. Manually export and import the component group data.   

By clicking the [Create Export file for all connected categories] button, all the data is exported to an XML file, which can be manually imported onboard. This button will export data for ALL selected categories, if more than one category is ticked. The [Create export file for selected category] only exports data for the selected group.
