AMS Asset Nodes in Policy Designer

The Properties window for an AMS Asset node contains the items that are described in the following table.

Item	Description
Primary Record check box	Specifies whether or not the node represents a primary record.
Trigger check box	Specifies whether or not changes to the record that is associated with the node will result in policy execution.

The following example illustrates how you can use the AMS Asset node with successor nodes to trigger actions based on whether or not an AMS Asset has any active alerts. Consider the following nodes and connections.

As shown in the following image, you can use the Properties window for the Equal node to select the AMS Asset node and the Has Active Alerts option. When this option is selected, the output of the AMS Asset node is either yes or no, depending on whether or not the AMS Asset is in an alert state. Together, the AMS Asset node and the Equal node indicate that an email message should be sent if the corresponding AMS Asset record has any active alerts.

You can also select a field from the AMS Asset family as an input for a successor node. As shown in the following image, you can use the Properties window for the Email Contact node to select the Description field in the AMS Asset family. If the Email Contact node is triggered, the email message will include the information contained in the Description field of the corresponding AMS Asset record.
