Note: A child asset cannot also be a parent.
Adding multiple working patterns
Added the ability to set up different working patterns so that these can be applied to relevant priorities, such as business hours during the day/week and out of hours overnight and weekend hours. This will then give flexibility to apply appropriate SLA's against priorities
