Adding assets and tags

Who can do it: Service provider, customer user
Where: Wialon Platform FleetSpace

Tags and anchors are added to the account automatically after they start sending data through the gateway you connected earlier. Assets are the items you track, so you add them yourself: one by one or from a file.

For the hardware installation guidelines (the number of anchors for each floor, the coverage area, and the gateway placement), see the Teltonika documentation.

1. Navigate to the Assets page.
2. Click New asset.
3. Enter the asset name, for example, Forklift 12.
4. Select the icon and color used for the asset on the map and in the lists.
5. Optionally, enter the Inventory number.
6. In the Category field, select the category, for example, Mobile equipment. The assets without a category are shown as Uncategorized.
7. If a tag is already available, select it in the Tag field to pair it with the asset.
8. Click Save.

To create your own categories, open the Categories tab on the Assets page.

1. Navigate to the Tags page.
2. Click New tag.
3. Enter the tag name and its ident.
4. If an asset is already available, select it in the Asset field to pair it with the tag.
5. Click Save.

For details on pairing assets and tags later, see Pairing assets and tags.

To see the assets on the floor plan, go to the Live View page. For details, see Finding assets on the map.

If you have a list of assets in an accounting or ERP system, export it and upload it to the platform.

1. Go to the Assets or Tags page.
2. Click Import.
3. Select the CSV file.
4. Select the column that contains the data:
   • For assets: select the column with the asset name.
   • For tags: select the column with the tag ident. The other columns in the file are ignored.
5. Check the preview and click Import N rows, where N is the number of rows in the file.

The import runs in the background. The items appear in the list as they’re created.

You can also import anchors and gateways. For details, see Placing anchors and gateways on the floor plan.

The Assets page shows all assets of the account in a table. Above the tabs, you can see how many assets are in the account, how many of them are tracked (paired with a tag), and how many are without a tag.

The table contains the following columns:

If a value isn’t set or isn’t available yet, a dash is shown instead.

If a tag was created automatically after it started sending data, its name in the Tag column is shown as tag-<ident> (autocreated). You can rename such a tag on the Tags page.

To find an asset, use the Search field. To narrow down the list, apply one of the filters above it:

To show, hide, or reorder the columns, click the icon . To restore the default settings, click Reset.

To see the assets on the floor plan, go to the Live View page. For details, see Finding assets on the map.

To work with an asset, click the icon in its row. The set of available actions depends on the asset state and your permissions.

You can’t open an asset by clicking its row in the list if the platform doesn’t know the asset position. This happens in the following cases:

• The asset isn’t paired with a tag.
• The asset is paired with a tag, but the tag hasn’t sent any data yet. Such a tag has the Not seen status.
• The tag has sent data, but the position can’t be defined, for example, because none of the anchors that detected the tag are placed on a floor plan.

In these cases, use the icon menu in the asset row to work with the asset.
