• The asset tree, which is a hierarchical view of all your assets (see Asset Tree)

• The toolbar on the top of the screen area (see Assets Toolbar)

• The following tabs:

  • Dashboard (see Asset Dashboards)

  • Asset Information (see Asset Information)

  • Drawings (see Drawings)

  • Library (see Library)

Tip

• The asset selection is persistent between the ASSETS and INSPECTION screens, that is, if you choose an asset on the ASSETS screen and change the screen to INSPECTION, the same asset will be selected and vice versa.

• If you exit out of NEXUS and open the application, it will reopen the application on the same location that you exited last time.

Assets Toolbar

Elements of the Assets toolbar are available from multiple screens and dialogs in NEXUS IC.

The Assets toolbar button allows you to add, edit, delete and move assets to and from the hierarchy. Additional navigation and filtering capabilities are also provided from this toolbar.

Toolbar Option	Description
Back	Allows you to return to assets that you had previously selected in the asset tree.
Forward	Allows you to return to assets that you had previously selected in the asset tree, after you’ve used the Back button.
Assets ‣ Add ‣ Asset	Adds a new child asset to the asset currently selected in the hierarchy.
Assets ‣ Add ‣ Root Asset	Adds a new root level asset into the active Asset View. A root level asset is an asset that does not have a parent asset.
Assets ‣ Add ‣ Linked Asset (With Children)	Adds a link to an existing asset including all its children. An asset tree will be displayed to allow selection of the asset to link as a child to the currently selected asset.
Assets ‣ Add ‣ Linked Asset (Without Children)	Adds a link to an existing asset, without any of its children. An asset tree will be displayed to allow selection of the asset to link as a child to the currently selected asset.
Assets ‣ Edit ‣ Asset Properties	Changes the name or asset type of the currently selected asset or adds/removes the Primary Asset flag.
Assets ‣ Edit ‣ Asset Type Properties	Allows you to edit the asset type of the currently selected asset, for example, change its name or change what AIGs, event types and survey types it is associated with.
Assets ‣ Delete	Deletes or unlinks the selected asset. If the asset exists in multiple places, it removes only the asset at the current location, it doesn’t delete all locations where the asset exists. Click on the Connections button to view dependant records of the current asset.
Assets ‣ Show Asset Type	Toggles the display of the asset type in the hierarchy.
Assets ‣ Expand Children	Expands all subnodes (children, grandchildren) of the selected asset. You can also press the * key on the numeric keypad.

Assets ‣ Copy to Clipboard	Copies either the asset name or full hierarchy location of the selected asset to the clipboard.
Assets ‣ Move ‣ To…	Moves the selected asset and inserts it as a child under the node that you select in the asset hierarchy.
Assets ‣ Move ‣ To Root	Repositions the selected asset in the asset tree so that it becomes a root asset.
Assets ‣ Show on Drawing	Shows a list of drawings that have this asset as a layer. Click on a menu item to go to that drawing. If the drawing name has “(Different Asset)” after it, the drawing you will be taken to is not available on the current asset; thus, when you select the menu option, you will not only be taken to that layer on that drawing, you will also be navigated to the new asset. You can get back by using the Back toolbar button.
Assets ‣ Other Locations	Shows a list of other locations that this asset exists in on the asset tree (including in other Asset Views). Click on a menu item to navigate there. If this asset does not appear in any other locations, you will not see any items in this list.
Assets ‣ Connections	See Connections for information about the Connections function.
Assets ‣ Anomaly Triggers	See Set Up Anomaly Triggers for Assets for information about the Anomaly Triggers function.
Assets ‣ Coordinates	Allows you to define the baseline coordinates for survey points relevant for the asset. You can define coordinates for several survey points. In this case, on the INSPECTION screen, on the Map tab, a line is displayed, which connects the survey points defined.
Assets ‣ Retire Equipment	See Retire Equipment for detailed information on this function.
Assets ‣ Rotate Equipment	See Rotate Equipment for detailed information on this function.
