Improved Asset Tree View and Functionality
Asset Tree received some major improvements like possibility to group assets by Category and Location, drag and drop capability, node labels and tooltips that can be personalized, or showing number of children for the node.
You can change Asset Tree grouping method by going to Tree Options and in a dropdown field Group by selecting one from 3 available options: Parent (default one), Category or Location.
What's more, for Location method, you can select option to Show by Main Asset, then in the location you will see only the assets from the highest level (that are not children to any other asset) and children structure beneath them, even if their children are assigned to different locations.
Drag and drop capability allows users to move assets in the default view (grouping by parent) between different assets, ultimately changing asset children structure. Users have to have Drag-and-drop on Asset Tree option enabled on Maintenance Employees page, to be able to perform this action. The capability is not available on mobile devices.
From now on, users can personalize Node Labels and Node Tooltips in Tree Options. By selecting one of the 2 actions, user will see list of all node labels/tooltips and information if they are personalized or not. To personalize the label, user just need to select the label to modify, select Personalize action and change it to your liking, by setting specific fields and text lines in chosen order.
Personalization can be easily removed by selecting Clear Personalization action. If you would like to change default label/tooltip format, you can do this by selecting Customize Default Labels, to revert changes to default labels, you should use Restore Defaults action (it is hidden by default), it removes all changes made to default labels, but it will not affect personalized labels.
You can also manage all labels/tooltips from Asset Management Setup, where you will find option to show all Customizations made by users and possibility to Install/Restore Default Labels.
Another thing added to the Asset Tree is possibility to see the number of children for the object. By selecting Show Number of Children option in the Tree Options, you will activate this option and on the label for each node that has children you will have information about number of them. Additionally, when grouping by Category or Location, you will see how many subcategories (or child locations) and assets are below the node.
