Background

You can link the sub assets within a parent asset so that all parts of the asset are accounted for, along with their parent and child relationships.

Asset Type Hierarchy Example

  • HVAC (Level 1)

    • Air Handling Unit (Level 2)

      • Supply Fan (Level 3)

    • Chiller (Level 2)

    • Boiler (Level 2)

Icon Permissions Access Check You could link all Supply Fans to the parent Air Handling Unit. And all Air Handling Units, Chillers, and Boilers to the parent HVAC system.

Icon Permissions No Access X However, you cannot link a Supply Fan to a HVAC parent, nor can you link the Supply Fan to a Boiler parent. You also cannot link Air Handling Units, Chillers, or Boilers as parents of each other because they are at the same level in the hierarchy.
