Create a New Template

Step-by-Step: Create an Asset Template

Step 1: Create the Template

• Go to Engineering -> Asset Modeling -> + Template

  ▷A window appears. Enter the following information in this window:

1. Click on Engineering [A]

2. Click on Asset Modeling [B]

   ▷ The Asset Model Overview [B1] opens. In the Asset Model Overview, you will see all available asset templates.

3. Click on [B2]

   ▷ The window [C] opens.

4. Give the asset template a name in [C1].

5. Optional: Activate [C2] to specify whether the asset should be ↗ monitored for inactivity.

6. If you completed step 5: In [C3] and [C4], enter the time that should pass until assets created from this template are displayed as inactive.

   ⇄ Otherwise: Continue with the next step.

7. In [C5], select the map symbol. This selection indicates which symbol assets created from this template are displayed with on the map.

8. Click on [C6] to create the asset template.

   ▷ The asset template is added and appears in the Asset Model Overview [B1]

9. To edit the asset template, click [D].

   ▷ The Asset Template Configuration page opens

Step 2: The Template Configuration

Activate Bookable

After you have created an asset template, you can enable it for bookings to make it available for the Booking App. This process allows you to use assets based on this template for reservations and bookings.

Activate Booking Function

1. Open Template Configuration: Go to Engineering -> Asset Modeling and select the desired asset template. Then click on the pencil icon to edit the template's configuration.

2. Activate Booking Option: In the template's configuration settings, you will find the "Bookable" option. Activate this option to enable the asset template for bookings.

   • Automatically Added Attributes: As soon as the booking option is activated, two special attributes are automatically added to the template:

     • occupancy: This attribute indicates how many people are currently in the asset.

     • bookable: This attribute indicates whether the asset is currently bookable or has already been booked.

3. Integration with the Booking App: If the Booking App is installed, it automatically recognizes the occupancy and bookable attributes. This makes the asset based on this template reservable via the Booking App.

Activate Tracker Function

You can register assets as trackers in the system to then connect them with a Localino Tracker and display them in the Tracking Widget display.

Step 1: Open Template Configuration

1. Navigate to the Configuration: Go to Engineering -> Asset Modeling and select the desired asset template.

2. Edit the Template: Click on the pencil icon , to edit the template's configuration.

Step 2: Activate Tracker Option

1. Find the Tracker Option: In the template's configuration settings, you will find the option Tracker.

2. Activate Option: Activate this option to register the asset as a tracker in the system.

Step 3: Add Attributes to the Asset Template

You can add as many attributes as you like to an asset template.

Attributes specify which data the asset template processes.

1. Click on Engineering [A]

2. Click on Asset Modeling [B]

   ▷ The Asset Model Overview [B1] opens. In the Asset Model Overview, you will see all available asset templates.

3. For the asset to which you want to add attributes: Click on [D].

   ▷ The Asset Template Details open

4. Under [F] you will see all attributes that have already been created for this asset template. This field may therefore be empty.

5. Click on [F1] to create a new attribute

   ▷ The Configure Attributes window opens.

6. Under [F2] "General", in [F3], select whether the incoming values are analog or digital. Digital values are the values "0" and "1". Analog values are any floating-point numbers.

7. Activate [F3] if it is an attribute that is calculated from several ↗ other attributes.

8. Enter an attribute name in [F5].

9. In [F6], enter the subtype of the asset.

   ◈ Input – Data is sent from the asset to Eliona.

   ◈ Output – Data is sent from Eliona to the asset.

   ◈ Status – Indicates a state (e.g., battery level).

   ◈ Information – Static or system-related data.

   ◈ ATTENTION! The subtype can no longer be changed after the asset template has been saved!

10. Optional: In [F7], specify the unit that the data entering this attribute has (e.g., °C, kWh).

11. Optional: In [F8], select the attribute class. This setting is optional and only relates to the logo.

12. Optional: In [F9], you can enter ↗ calculations that are applied to data entering this attribute.

13. Optional: In [F10], enter a JSON path. Eliona uses JSON-Path expressions to identify data elements in the database.

14. Optional: In [F9], enter a lower limit.

15. Optional: In [F10], enter an upper limit.

16. Optional: In [F11], set limits for the attribute:

    ◈ Limit low – Minimum value

    ◈ Limit high – Maximum value

    ◈ Step size – Value interval for changes

17. Optional: Activate [F12] Trending Configuration, to specify whether historical values are stored.

    ◈ On change – Values are only stored when the value changes. This reduces unnecessary data points and saves storage space.

    ◈ Always – Every value is stored, even if it does not change. This enables a complete data history.

18. Optional: In [F13], you can set an AR Position where the attribute appears in the Augmented Reality display:

    ◈ No position

    ◈ Top

    ◈ Bottom Left

    ◈ Bottom Right

19. Optional: Click on [F14], to activate Value Mapping. This allows individual strings to be assigned to certain raw values (e.g., "0", "1", "2").

    ◈ You can find more information in the chapter on ↗ Value Mapping.

20. Optional: You can adjust the Title Language of the attribute via [F15].

21. Click on [F16] Save, to complete the configuration.

Step 4: Add Characteristics to the Asset Template

Asset characteristics enable you to store standardized information directly in an asset template. These values can be adopted when an asset is created and later adjusted individually.

1. Click on the edit pencil [H], to configure the Asset Characteristics for the asset template.

   ▷ The configuration view for asset characteristics opens.

2. Click on [H1], to create a new category for asset characteristics.

   ▷ A window opens for entering the name of the category.

3. In [H2], select one of the previously created ↗ Characteristics Templates.

   ▷ The predefined attributes and settings of the selected category are adopted.

4. In [H3], you can set default values for the asset characteristics.

   ▷ These values are automatically adopted in every asset that is based on this template.

   ▷ The values can be adjusted later in the individual assets.

5. Click on [H4], to further customize the ↗ Characteristics Template.

   ▷ This opens the same configuration view as under Step 4 (see G elements).

6. Click on [H5], to remove a category from the asset template.

   ▷ The associated characteristics are also removed.

7. Click on [H6] Save, to complete the configuration.
