In the Model Request, currently you could only assign models of type equipment and functional location.

The new feature allows you to assign models of type spare parts as well.

In this way, the proactive request for spare parts is enabled, enhancing collaborative asset definition and maintenance processes.

Also, two new columns Total Recommended Objects and Total Requested Objects have been added: These two new columns provide a snapshot of recommended and requested objects, saving the need to deep dive inside and confirm.

       
 

Enhanced Event Payloads with Child Object Data
