Configuring the Asset Explorer Tree - PAS Integrity Software Suite - 7.3 - Administration & Configuration - Intergraph

The Asset Explorer Configuration link in the Admin Utility opens the Configure Custom Settings for the Asset Explorer window. This window provides options to override the structure of the asset explorer in Integrity and to complete manual rack configuration. For more information about rack configuration, see Rack Configuration.

You should finish adding all data owners prior to configuring the asset explorer tree structure. If you import additional data owners after you configure the asset explorer tree structure, new data owners are not displayed in the tree structure in Integrity until you manually add them to the tree.

Before you modify your asset explorer tree, review the following considerations:

• You can also use Configuration Manager to define the asset explorer tree structure. If you have Cyber Integrity, you also need to use Configuration Manager to define an asset hierarchy for Cyber Integrity. For more information, see Understanding and Defining Your Asset Hierarchy.

• When using multiple databases, use Configuration Manager to define the asset explorer tree. If you select Asset Explorer Configuration in the Admin Utility, you may need to rebuild your asset explorer tree using Configuration Manager. For more information, see Working with Multiple Databases for Enterprise Deployments.

To configure the asset explorer tree:

1. In the Admin Utility, click the Asset Explorer Configuration link.

   By default, the List all assets option is selected, and all assets are displayed in alphabetical order.

2. If you want to customize the asset explorer tree structure, complete the following steps:

   1. Click Allow me to manually configure the tree.

   2. If you want to add a grouping node to the asset explorer tree structure, right-click on the Asset Explorer tree structure list, or the blank area if no list has been started, and click Add child node. Type a title for the node, and then click OK. You can repeat this step to add more grouping nodes.

   3. Click on an asset in the All assets list, and drag-and-drop it to the desired location in the Asset Explorer tree structure list. Then, click Yes to confirm the selection and location. Drop an object on top of a node to nest the object under that node. You can repeat this step to create the structure you want with all your assets.

   4. If you want to change a grouping node you created, right-click on a manually-created node in the Asset explorer tree structure list and then click Rename, Delete, or Change icon for the node.

3. If you want to use the default asset explorer tree that lists all assets in alphabetical order, complete the following steps:

   1. Click List all assets.

   2. Click Yes to confirm that you want to show all assets. Integrity saves your last manual configuration of the asset explorer tree for the future, if needed.
