About Assets

Assets are registered under an Asset Class and associated with a Location.  An asset represents a unique item – likely with a serial number. It will contain its own service history, job queue, and IoT data.   Each registered asset must be assigned an asset tag ID generating a unique QR code to be printed and placed on the asset.  The asset tag also serves as the primary point of reference for all spatially anchored content (3D step-markers, pen notes, meters, and so on.) For this reason – it’s critical that the placement of the QR code on an asset is consistent for all assets of that same class.

Add an asset

1.  In the Manifest Web application, go to the menu open ‘Assets’
2.  Select “+ Asset”
3.  A window will open and prompt you for details required for a new Asset. Fields include the following (those with an asterisk are required):
4. Serial Number*: an unique items serial number
5. Internal Id: optional input field to enter in an internal reference identifier
6. Department: option input field to enter in a department reference to the unique item
7. High Criticality: option checkbox to identify as a critical asset
8. Status*: status for this asset which can be updated and managed as status changes (ie: active, inactive, in repair, etc.)
9. Location*: location that his asset is located at
10. Asset Class*: associated asset class to this asset
11. Asset Tag Id*: a unique identifier you assign to generate the QR code (can be an arbitrary number system or you can use your own asset tag system)
12. Once complete, select ‘Create’
13. Your newly created Asset should not appear in the list of Assets. You can expand the asset detail and access additional tools for configuration by selecting the name.

Print asset tag

1. Once your Asset is created, expand the Asset details and select the blue QR code found under the ‘Tag’ header
2. A window will open and present you the QR code for that asset created
3. Above the QR code itself – you are presented with two buttons to either ‘Print QR’ or ‘Download PDF’
4. Print QR to be placed on the unique item – OR –
5. Download PDF to save the QR code to your device for future use

Pro Tip! Recommended QR code size is 56mm and a maximum size of 190mm.  The QR code is a global setting managed by the Admin in Client Settings.  The default is 46mm.  Printing the QR code will ensure the correct size dimensions are set.

Print alignment tag

With any procedure that spans over a large asset/area, spatially anchored content may lose accuracy the further it is from the scanned asset tag. Alignment actions allow authors to re-align steps to an alignment tag at any stage in the procedure. 

1. Once your Asset is created, expand the Asset details and select the green QR code found under the ‘Tag’ header
2. A window will open and present you the QR code for that asset created
3. Above the QR code itself – you are presented with two buttons to either ‘Print QR’ or ‘Download PDF’
4. Print QR to be placed on the unique item – OR –
5. Download PDF to save the QR code to your device for future use

Pro Tip! The same alignment tag can be used multiple times for the same asset.

Edit or Delete an asset

1. In the Manifest Web application, go to the menu option ‘Asset’
2. Search for the Asset you would like to edit or delete
3. To the right of the asset class name in the list, those with the necessary permissions will see an edit or delete icon.
4. Selecting ‘edit’ will open the original asset creation window allowing you to update that information.
5. Selecting ‘delete’ will allow you to delete the asset

Note: Only those with Administrator permissions can delete an asset.  If jobs are associated to an asset you will NOT be able to delete the asset.
