Child nodes

Child

A “child” is the node immediately below another node in the hierarchical tree structure of the Asset Type Tree or Asset Tree.

Business rules

A child item does not inherit anything from its parent item; it inherits everything from its ancestor.
A child item may be a descendant but it is not always a descendant.

- Example -

In the following Asset Type Tree structure, the following items are child items of the “Pumps” Asset Type:

The “Casing” Component.
The “Fan” In-Place Asset Type.
The “Gearbox” Linked Asset Type.
The Sub Asset Types “Steam Pumps”, “Kinetic Pumps”, “Reciprocating Power Pumps”, “Rotary Pumps” and “Vertical Pumps”.

The “Centrifugal Pump”, “Regenerative Turbine Pump” and “Special Effect Pump” are the children of the “Kinetic Pumps” Asset Type.
