Asset Views

The Asset Views functionality can be used to isolate asset trees from one another, to view only a filtered list of assets, or to arrange assets differently. In case you have set up multiple asset views, you can switch between the different asset tree views using the Asset Views toolbar menu wherever the asset tree appears.

You can maintain asset views on the ASSETS screen of NEXUS IC as follows:

  • You can create a new asset view by choosing Asset Views ‣ Add from the toolbar. Enter the name of the asset view and a descriptive comment (for informational and reporting purposes only). Once created, you can build the new asset tree following the standard asset tree maintenance steps (see Maintain Asset Trees and Asset Nodes).

  • You can update the properties of the currently selected asset view any time by choosing Asset Views ‣ Edit from the toolbar.

  • You can delete the currently selected asset view by choosing Asset Views ‣ Delete from the toolbar.

    Note

    Deleting an asset view will delete all the assets contained within that view, regardless of whether those assets exist in other asset views.

Example

  • Create an asset view titled “Subsea” which contains all subsea assets and a second view titled “SPE” which contains all topside Static Pressure Equipment assets.

  • Create an asset view titled “Pressure Relief Devices” which contains only the PRD assets in the “SPE” view. In this example, the PRDs are Linked from the SPE asset view.
