Linking child and parent assets

You can represent assets as standalone assets or as related assets. The relationship between related assets is hierarchical. That is a parent-to-child relationship such as a hard drive that belongs to a computer or a monitor that belongs to a machine. 

To establish the parent-child relationship between assets, both assets must exist.

Procedure

1. Open the asset that you want to be the parent asset.
2. Click Child Assets.
3. On the Child Assets page, click the plus symbol to add assets. 
4. Search for the child asset and click Add +. You can select one or more assets.

Result: When you view the parent asset details, you can view the associated child assets on the Child Assets page. You can modify these asset relationships as required, for example, you can add new child assets or transfer existing child assets to a new parent asset. You can also add child assets to a child asset and create an asset hierarchy.
