Overview of all assets

When you access the Asset Management application, you are presented with a table component displaying an overview of all your assets on the Asset overview page. This table offers comprehensive insight into your assets and features a query filter component that helps you locate specific items based on their properties.

Assets are defined based on various parameters such as categories, status indicators, buildings, floors, rooms, aisles, racks, and slots. These can be added through the header bar, which also provides access to dedicated overview panels for further management.

Within the table, clicking the ellipsis button ("...") in the second column opens a context menu that allows you to edit or delete any of the existing assets, as well as access an asset's detail report page.

Important

To gain access to an asset's detail report page, you first need to modify the asset URLs to use your personal system.

The header bar

The header bar is only available in the Asset overview tab. In this header bar, you can find the following functionalities:

Icon	Name	Description
	Add asset	Allows you to create an asset, specifying general asset, DataMiner, accounting, SLA, and location information. Because the asset object relies on other DOM definitions, certain information can be selected directly from a dropdown list, e.g. category, status, building, floor, and more.
	Categories	Allows you to add new categories by specifying a category name and ID, or review the existing list of categories in a panel to the right. To delete or modify any of the categories, click the ellipsis button ("...") next to the category and select Delete or Edit.
	Status indicators	Allows you to add new status indicators, or review the existing list of status indicators. To delete or modify any of the status indicators, click the ellipsis button ("...") next to the status indicator and select Delete or Edit.
	Buildings	Allows you to add new buildings, or review the existing list of buildings. To delete or modify any of the buildings, click the ellipsis button ("...") next to the building and select Delete or Edit.
	Floor	Allows you to add new floors, or review the existing list of floors. To delete or modify any of the floors, click the ellipsis button ("...") next to the floor and select Delete or Edit.
	Room	Allows you to add new rooms, or review the existing list of rooms. To delete or modify any of the rooms, click the ellipsis button ("...") next to the room and select Delete or Edit.
	Aisle	Allows you to add new aisles, or review the existing list of aisles. To delete or modify any of the aisles, click the ellipsis button ("...") next to the aisle and select Delete or Edit.
	Rack	Allows you to add new racks, or review the existing list of racks. To delete or modify any of the racks, click the ellipsis button ("...") next to the rack and select Delete or Edit.
	Slots	Allows you to add new slots, or review the existing list of slots. To delete or modify any of the slots, click the ellipsis button ("...") next to the slot and select Delete or Edit.

Note

You cannot delete any categories, status indicators, buildings, floors, rooms, aisles, racks, and slots that are referred to in any of the assets. Attempting to delete such objects will prompt a list of the associated assets.
Adhere to the following format when implementing the asset number: CHASSISNUMBER.CARDNUMBER. This ensures that on asset detail report pages, the Linked cards if applicable table can display the parent-child relationship between a chassis and its associated cards, if applicable. If you do not use this format, the table will not be populated with data.

The filter pane

On the Asset overview page, a filter pane on the left enables you to narrow down assets based on their properties.

In edit mode, you can enable the filter assistance setting:

Select the query filter component, and navigate to the Settings tab in the configuration pane to the right.
Enable the Filter assistance setting in the General section of the tab.

When this setting is enabled, the column filters will assist you by providing filter suggestions and additional information such as units, step size, and more.

Caution

Depending on the size of your data, this can have an impact on performance.

The 'QR code' page

The QR code page provides an overview of active asset URLs, which can be used to access the asset detail report pages.

Important

To gain access to an asset's detail report page, you first need to modify the asset URLs to use your personal system.

QR Code

These URLs can be used to generate QR codes that will redirect you to the asset's detail report page when you scan them, gaining access to detailed information.

To do so:

Click the ellipsis button ("...") in the top-right corner of the table component, and select Export to CSV.

A CSV file containing the different asset URLs is now saved to your machine.
Open a QR code generator of your choice, preferably one that lets you generate QR codes in bulk, e.g. Bulk QR Code Generator.

Enter the QR data manually, or input the CSV file.

Example:
