If you are willing to go outside the day-1 design..... then...consider following:
Perform asset downtime tracking directly on the workorder table.
It is my observation that this or any design that involves too many clicks, then it doesnt get used.
1. Add new field...Totdowntime
2. Add new field ... DownDate
3. Build autoscript that auto populates Totdowntime based on Actfinish minus Actstart at COMP
4. Exception to above is ...When Downdate is populated then use this instead of Actstart.
Reports can easily sweep up total downtime at this point.
The reason for downtime is already on the workorder....problemcode, cause, and failed component.

</div>So let's talk about asset downtime.
We have a subset of staff that will take service requests, tickets, and that sort of stuff. Occassionally, a user in that role will get a report of equipment down. I want to allow that user to report downtime, and only report downtime, for an asset.
However, in looking at secGroups, I can allow READ access to assets but that is insufficient. Makes sense, I need to write to assetstatus and the Asset app controls this. I allow SAVE and yes, now I can allow users to report downtime.
And edit fields. Wait, I don't want that to happen. I just want to allow access to one "Select Action" entry.
Question to the group: how can I do this? I'll take all the possible methods the group can conceive.
