  1. Go to Manage. assets_page
  2. Choose the Security group application. assets_page
  3. Search on the HEALTH group and click enter key. assets_page
  4. Click the Applications tab.
  5. Select Assets assets_page
  6. Click the Grant listed options for the application
  7. Enable options for asset actions assets_page
  8. Click Save Group. assets_page

Create Asset Scoring Groups using Notebooks

Coming soon.

Launch Health on the Applications tab. If Health tile is not present on applications tab, ask your MAS admin has to enable it.

  1. After you login using the credentials provided by your instructor, navigate to the
  2. From the main MAS page, select the Applications tab navigate_to_health
  3. Click the Launch link on the Health or Predict tile
  4. This displays the assets grid page with a table of assets and their health scores for the user's currently assigned site. assets_page

**Note if the user isn't assigned to a site they will not see any assets. **

Scoring Settings

On the main screen, there is a universal view of all managed assets in a familiar table view.

Scores that are shown in this view, and others, are created from the Scoring and DGA settings section on the left nav bar.

  1. Hover over the left nav bar to expand it setup_assets

  2. Select the Scoring and DGA settings section on the left nav bar setup_assets

Create a Scoring Group

Creating a scoring group (i.e. grouping common assets together) is the first step to creating scores.

If there are any scoring groups already created, they will appear on the Groups tab of the Scoring and DGA settings page.

  1. Scroll through the pages to see what groups have already been created. setup_assets

There are 2 ways to develop scoring methodologies in Maximo Health and Predict – Utilities

The first way is to develop the scoring methodology in a Jupyter notebook. For many assets in the Transmission and Distribution space (T&D), IBM provides notebooks with prescribed scoring methodologies.

Alternatively, scoring methodologies can be created from scratch directly in the UI.

Create a Scoring Group

To create a score group for Substation Transformers, click the Create a scoring and DGA group button, and complete the form.

  1. Click the Create a scoring and DGA group button. setup_assets
  2. Complete the open fields for Name and Description.
  3. Select the radio button for asset to identify the Object.
  4. Select the radio button Connecting group to notebook in response to Configure scoring and DGA by.
  5. Click Select to pick a notebook. setup_assets
  6. When prompted, scroll and select the IBM Transformers Tap Changers DGA 6.0.1.

  2. Leave the remaining fields as they default.
  3. Click Save.
    setup_assets
  4. Return to the Groups tab to set up the custom score methodology. Select the Groups tab.

Create Group Using Custom Scoring Methodology

Create a Scoring Group

Follow similar steps as those using the notebook to create a custom score methodology for substation transformers in this case, a proxy for efficiency.

  1. Click the Create a scoring and DGA group button. setup_assets
  2. Complete the open fields for Name and Description.
  3. Select the radio button for asset to identify the Object.
