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.
Areas in an Asset Hierarchy can only be assigned to a single device.
To remove the assignment of an Asset Hierarchy click the Clear button.
To view details about the assigned Asset Hierarchy, click the Show Details button.

The details includes the following information:
Data Connectors: A list of the data connectors defined in the Asset Hierarchy, including the module name and the number of tags that are using the data connector.
Tags: A list of all tags defined in the assigned parts of the Assert Hierarchy. The list includes the following information:
Tag name
Data Source name
Type (read/write)
Address - the item reference for the data retrieval
Aggregation type, if any is applied
Sampling (On Change / Periodic)
Jobs: A list of periodic jobs (FTP / File Share)
