AssetWise Web Help

To Create a Tag Using a Wizard

  1. Click the Create new eB Objects icon at the top of the Navigation pane.
  2. If more than one scope exists, set the default scope in which you want to create the tag.
  3. In the Add Object list, click Tag.
  4. Select a tag template from the list.

    You can filter the list of available templates by name, description or classification.

  5. Click Next.
  6. Fill out the fields and the attributes for the tag:
    Option Description
    Component Id This is the unique identifier given to a tag. This can be the functional location/component number, Loop ID for instrumentation or prototype number. Configuration management rules in AssetWise do not allow this number to be duplicated within the same facility, for identification of another tag.

    There are two ways a component ID can be calculated:

    The first case is when only a mask is specified in the configuration of the template. When the check box is checked, you can either manually enter the value in this field or you can let the value be automatically calculated from a mask.

    Another case is when a template has a calculated mask in its configuration. In this case, you cannot modify the value in the Component Id field.

    Revision Revision can be entered manually when there is no revision rule set specified for the template. When there is one, default value will be used and revision rule set will be used when a new revision of the object is created.
    Service Description This is a description of the tag.
    System This identifies the primary function of the system that this tag belongs to.
    Attributes Attribute values can be included in calculated masks. You can enter values for those attributes in the "Please fill out the attributes below:" section. This section will only be available when at least one attribute is specified in the Object Creation setting on the template's class configuration (classes and templates can be configured using AssetWise Director). Only attributes included in the Object Creation setting will be displayed here.
  7. When all the required information is filled out, click the Create and Edit button to create the tag.
