Consolidate Equipment, Tagged Furniture and Furniture tables under one Assets table

I propose to:
1. Consolidate Equipment, Tagged Furniture, and Furniture tables under one Assets table.
2. consolidate both EQ Standard and Furniture Standard to one Asset Standard table.

Currently, we cannot run basic SLA services on furniture. Consolidation will enable users to look at their entire asset portfolio (No Building No Properties) in one location and will enable:

  1. planners to create furniture capital replacement plans
  2. facility managers to see available assets in rooms that include furniture in one report
  3. allow systems to extend to Furniture
  4. Allow Employees to request services for Furniture assets

It will also enable us to expand the new "Manage Equipment and Standards" view to"Manage Asset and Asset Standards"

    This also re-enables the ability to do a tagged furniture survey which used to be part of tagged assets and is only available for EQ now.

    This is becoming even more relevant we have clients working with BIM. It's not just equipment and furniture but everything treated as an asset in a client's definition. Calling the main table equipment is confusing to clients because they really think of equipment as hvac or a piece of equipment like a sound system.

    Here's something needs we really need to start seeing in archibus:
    1. BIM models contain all the properties of Walls, Piping, duct work, windows, doors, floors, ceilings, roofs, lights, etc.
    2. Ability to have URL parameters in the bim viewer to start up at looking at a piece of asset or system.
    3. It would be good to have that table have ability to configure what fields align to a asset category ie.

    Walls for example contain information about:
    - paint color
    - wall type (fire wall, heritage wall, sound proof)
    -materials (brick, concrete, wood)
    -Condition
    -dates installed, age etc)
    -classification
    -replacement cost, we know the volumne/area and the material so to replace it will cost $x
    most of this looks like the stuff we see in the equipment tables.

    Carrying this information and having it display in the bim viewer would be a big win, this can appear as a popup that shows the data that derived from Revit or it can be captured in Archibus. This also powers users to work with more interconnected work with CMMS and how this impacts space and surrounding systems.

    So now as a maintenance person you can find out information about an asset such as a wall, find out how it can affect other systems, ie. sound system that is attached to the wall, the plumbing system behind the wall, the ventilation system behind the wall, etc. So in maintenace to repair something behind a wall, someone needs to create multiple tickets like tear down the wall, disable affected systems, fix the problem, patch up the wall.
