The Asset Tree is a feature for asset modeling, allowing the creation of a semantic layer that organizes data into meaningful groups. Its purpose is to manage large, complex data with clear organization and easy navigation. The main functionalities include hierarchical structuring and semantic grouping of data. Applications include organizing industrial assets for monitoring and maintenance. Use by defining the asset model in UnifiedNamespace → / AssetTree to establish the asset structure.
Using the Asset Tree TAssetsTree, users can visually manage their assets, apply filters, and customize the display to suit specific needs, ensuring that relevant information is easily accessible and manageable.

Requirements
Defining the asset model in UnifiedNamespace → / AssetTree is the only requirement to use it. This component is Portable. It runs both on Windows (WPF) and on Web Pages hosted in any platform.
Configuration
- Go to Displays
- / Draw.
- On the Components Panel, select Modules, then
- AssetsTree.
- Click or drag-and-drop it on the Drawing area to use it.
- Double-click the component to open the configuration window.
The parameters are described as follows:
Tree View Settings
Field
Description
Control Name
Defines a name for the control so it can be accessed in the CodeBehind script. See Display Code Behind.
Binding
AssetsControl Configuration | |
|---|---|
Blinding | |
Determines the binding mode for the selected component. Options include:
|
Selected Asset
SelectedAsset | Tag that will be receiving the selected Asset Name in Runtime as a String |
. | |
Selected Path | Enables setting a specific path within the asset tree, guiding users to the desired location. |
Initial Path | Defines the initial path displayed when the asset tree is first loaded, providing a starting point. |
Branch Filter | Filters the branches displayed in the asset tree based on specified criteria, helping to manage large datasets. |
Attribute Filter | Filters assets based on specified attributes, allowing users to narrow down the displayed assets. |
Show BaseTags Folder
Displays the BaseTags folder within the asset tree. Useful for accessing foundational tags.
Expand Tags
Enables automatic expansion of tags within the asset tree for better visibility of nested tags.
Show Client Tags
SelectedLevel | Tag that will be receiving the selected Level Name in Runtime as a String. |
Show Only Tags | Flag that indicates if the Asset Tree will display only Tags or other project objects (such as Displays). |
Show 'Root Tags' On Folder | By default, all common type Tags (Integer, Digital, Text, etc) are added to the Root. By unchecking this option you can filter these elements out. |
Expand Tags | Flag that indicates if multi-level Tags can be expanded (Templates, Arrays). If unchecked, only the main Tag will be in the Asset Tree. |
Show Client Tags | Flag to define if client domain Tags will be displayed in Runtime. If unchecked, only server domain Tags will show up. |
Prefer Display Text |
Displays text preferentially over other forms, improving readability and user interaction.
Flag to indicate if the text that will show up in the Tree is the TagName or its Alias (defined in Unified Namespace / Asset Tree / DisplayText). If checked and the column is empty, the TagName will be used. | |
Localizable | If checked, Tag Names (or aliases) can be translated to different languages according to your solution dictionary's settings |

Runtime Execution
The AssetsTree Control organizes and manages large datasets by creating a semantic layer. It allows users to visually manage assets, apply filters, and customize the display for easy navigation and clear organization.
In a production environment, the AssetsTree Control can be used to monitor and maintain industrial assets. For instance, an operator can filter assets based on specific attributes to quickly locate and address issues within the asset hierarchy.
