The objects (assets) that are shown on the Objects page and the documents that are shown on the Where Used page are indirectly related to the maintenance management system. The objects reside in the Meridian Enterprise vault and are referenced by the documents or other objects. The objects act as proxies for the maintenance management system assets. The objects are created and periodically updated by the Asset Management Module from data that resides in the maintenance management system. You explicitly link them in PowerUser based on the relationships between the document data and object data. You can link documents or objects to objects or vice versa; both methods are supported. The configuration of the linking is done in Meridian Enterprise Configurator by a system administrator.

The information that is shown on the Objects and Where Used pages and working with the objects and documents is described in the following topics.
