Create an asset

In Entity Manager, add a new asset to your account from the Assets page.

Before you begin

• You have the Asset Manager role. See About user access to Entity Manager.
• The Asset Type you need already exists. Asset Types (Entity Types) are created in Company Settings.
• The Kontakt.io order ID has been claimed in Device Management and not yet assigned to another entity.

Steps

1. From the Kontakt.io Launchpad, select Entity Manager.
2. Go to Assets.
3. Select Create Asset.
4. In External ID, enter the identifier you use for this asset, such as an asset number. The External ID must be 2 to 36 characters and unique in your account.
5. In Name, enter a display name. The name is optional — if you leave it blank, the asset shows by its External ID.
6. Choose the Asset Type. The list shows all Asset Types in your account; enter part of a name to narrow it.
7. Enter any additional settings the Asset Type defines.
8. To assign a tag now, choose one from the Tag list. The list shows tags that are not yet assigned. You can also leave this blank and assign a tag later.
9. Select Save.

Result

The new asset appears in the list. If you assigned a tag, the asset shows its Tag ID and tag status. To assign a tag later or update an asset's assigned tag, see Assign or reassign a tag. To change any detail, see Edit an asset.
