Grouping assets

Why group assets?
To keep the overview of assets easy
you can use asset groups.
Assets that belong to a group appear together in the dashboard menu overview under the name of the asset group.
For example, you can create an asset group of type "Heater" with the purpose of grouping all assets of that type.
You can also create a group in which assets of different types are grouped together, this is called a mixed group. A practical example of this are all the assets located in a property.

How do I create an asset group?
Click
on the Assets menu in the upper right corner, click "Add" and choose
for "Asset group."
Then a screen appears where you can enter the basic details of the asset group.
Name: the name of the asset group.
Type: the asset type of the sensors.
Color: the
color of this asset group.
In the "Asset indicators" section, you can choose to have assets displayed on a map by activating the "Show Indicators on Map" switch.
You can set the color of the asset indicator(s) using
the drop-down icon in the "Color" field.
- If the "Show Indicators on Map" switch is on, the asset group indicator will be shown on the project folder. This indicator is a colored ball.
- If the "Auto Position" switch is on, the sensor itself will try to indicate its location on the map. Turning it off allows you to manually position the asset indicator.
By turning off Auto Position, you can drag the asset indicator yourself.
If it is on, however, this is not possible.
Don't forget to save.
