Asset associations

Track items that belong together as a group. Asset associations let you model real-world relationships — packages on a pallet, sensors attached to a vehicle, or tools stored in a cabinet — so you always know not just where an asset is, but what's with it.

How it works

Any asset can be placed on another asset, creating a parent-child relationship. An asset can have one parent at a time and any number of children.

This mirrors how things work in the real world: a package sits on one pallet, but a pallet can hold many packages.

Placing an asset on a parent

Open the asset you want to place.
Click the three-dot menu (top right) and select Place on...
Search for the parent asset by name or ID.
Optionally choose a relationship (e.g., "stored in", "attached to").
Click Associate.

The parent asset appears as a purple pill next to the asset's name. Click it to navigate to the parent.

Viewing children

When an asset has children, a Children section appears on its detail page showing each child with its status, zone, and last seen time. Click any row to navigate to that child.

In the assets list, a small purple badge next to an asset's name shows how many children it has.

Removing an association

From the child asset: click the three-dot menu and select Remove from [parent name].
From the parent asset: click Remove next to any child in the Children section.

Association history

Every time an asset is placed on or removed from a parent, it's recorded in the Association History section on the asset's detail page.
