Structure asset data

Audience: Administrators, dispatchers

Make your assets standardized, searchable, and scalable across your organization.

Put your assets in categories, explain their data, and define how they change status. 

Understand asset data structure

To configure your assets:

  1. To group related assets together, create the characteristics class. 

  2. To determine what data points to collect, define characteristics. 

  3. To ensure consistency and prevent typos, create predetermined values for dropdown menus. 

Follow an asset data example 

To track a fleet of industrial water pumps, you create a class called "Technical specifications"  that groups all engineering details together. Next, within that class, you define specific data points to collect, like "Flow rate", "Operating pressure", and "Manufacturer". Then, you create a value list for the “Manufacturer” characteristic with the predefined options of “Grundfos”, “Flowserve”, and “ITT Goulds”. When a user adds a new pump to the system, they can select the manufacturer from a dropdown menu.
