Asset Code Template

Every Asset maintained in Concept Evolution must have a unique identifier so that it can be tracked throughout its life cycle. This is called the Asset Code. Rather than creating Asset Codes randomly, each identifier should retain the following two qualities:

• It must be unique
• It should be meaningful

The Asset Code Template allows an automated method to adhere to these qualities.

The Asset Code Template is maintained here.

To create Assets see Assets

Settings > Assets > Asset Code Template

The link will open the Asset Code Template.

From the drop downs select the entities that are to be referenced when creating the Asset Code. The choice in all eleven boxes is the same:

• No Selection
• Site Code
• Building Code
• System
• Tag
• Type Available from 4.4.6
• Type Ref Available from 4.4.6
• Name Available from 4.4.6
• Name Ref Available from 4.4.6
• Location Number
• Number (Auto)

Below the drop down boxes is the No of Characters box for each drop down. Enter the number of characters of the entities code that the Asset Code Template is to use.

Between each drop down is a one character separator box this can be used to apply a separator such as "/ " or "-" so the Asset Code becomes easier to read.
