Generate asset criticality ratings for equipment

Asset criticality is a generated rating that allows users to quickly identify and prioritize equipment with critical maintenance requirements. 

Administrators and users with the correct permissions can score up to 500 equipment (at a time) on the key metrics of impact and probability of equipment failure. After assigning these scores, the system will generate an asset criticality rating, indicating to users the importance and urgency of maintaining that specific equipment:
