Asset Hierarchies

The Asset Hierarchy tab is used to assign a specific version of an Asset Hierarchy to the device. An asset hierarchy defines the logical structure of your equipment—such as site, production lines, and machines—and includes configuration and modules needed to run that structure.

Each device can have one assigned hierarchy version, and optionally only a subset of the hierarchy, if it's shared between multiple devices.

Click the Assign button to open the asset hierarchy picker. Here you can first choose a hierarchy by name and version:

After choosing the desired Asset Hierarchy in its desired version, click next. This opens the Area Selection, where it is possible to select either all or only parts of the Asset Hierarchy:

Clicking Done assigns the selected areas of the Asset Hierarchy to the device configuration.

Unassigning Asset Hierarchy

To remove the assignment of an Asset Hierarchy click the Clear button.
