Assets

What are assets?

• Assets are specific instances of an asset type.
• Asset types group related assets together (e.g., asset type "Country" could include assets like Germany and Spain).
• Assets store information that remains consistent across different work items and workflows.
• Assets are user-defined and can represent physical objects (e.g., cars, buildings), locations (e.g., countries, cities), or other categories.
• Editing an asset updates the information in every work item where that asset is used, making it an efficient way to manage large amounts of data.
• Activities can be set up to automatically update the data inside assets based on the data in work items

• Note that all the assets follow the same structure
• This structure is defined in the asset type

Creating assets

To create a new asset, navigate to the assets tab and enter the asset type you want to create an asset for, then click on the green +New <assetname> button. This will open up a form similar to a workflow, following the format of the asset type you created the asset in:

Once you have filled in the information of the asset, click Submit. This opens up the submit side panel:

Enter your username/email address into the Editor textbox and click the option showing your account, then click Submit.

Upon clicking submit, your newly created asset appears in within your asset type and can now be searched for in workflows:

Editing assets

To edit an asset, find the asset you want to edit and click on the ellipsis, then click on Edit asset in the popup.

On the top right corner of the asset form, click the Edit pencil icon:

Doing so lets you edit the fields. Once you have made your desired changes, click the green submit button as you would with creating assets and select your username in the submit side panel, then click Submit again.
