Asset Links

Asset objects of the same type often need to be related to each other. You can use an Asset Link object type to link two Asset objects.

To link an Asset to another Asset, go to the task view of a Asset object, click the Admin tab, and then click Create Asset Link. Users with administration permissions can access the Admin tab in task views.

Also, you can add the Asset Link field to Task or Grid views for the Asset object to enable users to create Asset Links from these views.

Various filtering options on the Admin tab allow you to select the Asset that you want to link. The Asset Link that is created is a child object of both of the linked Assets and is populated with the attributes of the parent objects.

Note that if the names or attributes of either parent Asset objects are changed after the Asset Link is created, the Asset Link name and its attributes will no longer correctly map to its parent Assets.
