Asset Properties

Asset Properties

Asset Properties are extra details for your product's nameplate that aren't covered by the standard fields — things a manufacturer might print on the physical rating plate, like "suitable servo controllers" or a plant identifier.

This section is optional and advanced. Most products don't need it — use it only when you have vendor-specific extras, or data a regulation requires.

Where to find it

Open a product → Asset Properties tab.

There are two kinds, each in its own block on the tab:

1. Asset-Specific Properties — your own extra fields.
2. Guideline-Specific Properties — fields required by a regulation.

Asset-Specific Properties

Define each extra detail yourself: give it a name, choose what kind of value it holds, and enter the value. Click Add Element and fill in:

Field		What to enter
Name (idShort)	*	A short technical name — letters, digits, underscores only, e.g. SuitableServoControllers.
Display Name		A readable label, e.g. Suitable Servo Controllers. Recommended.
Element Type	*	The kind of value (see below).

Element Type decides what you enter next:

• Property — a single value. You then pick a Value Type: Text, Integer, Decimal, Double, Boolean (yes/no), Date, Date & Time, or URL.
• Multi-language text — the same text in several languages (one row per language, using codes like en, de).
• File — an image or document embedded with the product. Max 2 MB.

Saved properties appear in a table where you can Edit or Delete them.

Guideline-Specific Properties

Some regulations require specific data on the nameplate. Group those together under the regulation's name. Click Add Group and give it:

• Guideline / Regulation — the name of the regulation.
• The properties that regulation requires.

Only add a group if a regulation actually mandates specific nameplate data for your product.

Tips

• Keep the Name (idShort) short and without spaces; use Display Name for the friendly label.
• Don't duplicate standard fields here — order code, versions, etc. already live on the Nameplate.

For technical users

These populate the Nameplate submodel (IDTA 02006-3-0): Asset-Specific Properties become the AssetSpecificProperties SMC (elements can be Property, MultiLanguageProperty or File); Guideline-Specific Properties become the GuidelineSpecificProperties SML, one group per GuidelineForConformityDeclaration. The idShort is auto-sanitised to letters, digits and underscores per AAS rules.
