V2/Concepts/Preparing for Asset Creation

What is needed to create an Asset

Note:

1. Mandatory information are marked with an ‘*’.
2. If you want to augment your Senfi assets with brick classes, you need to:
   1. Create the measurements, and in the metrics, specify brick point classes
   2. Create asset class, and specify brick equipment class
   3. Create asset that uses 1 and 2, and specify brick point names

This section helps you to prepare information you need to create an Asset.
