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, 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, click the Modules category, and on Asset Tree to select it. Then, click or drag-and-drop on the Drawing area to use in your displays. Double-click in the object to configure it.
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 | Determines the binding mode for the selected component. Options include:
|
Selected Asset | Allows users to choose a specific asset from the asset tree. |
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 | Option to display 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 | Option to display tags associated with clients, facilitating client-specific asset management. |
Prefer Display Text | Displays text preferentially over other forms, improving readability and user interaction. |
Localize | Enables localization, adapting the display text to different languages based on user preferences. |
Runtime Execution
In Runtime, the control has embedded controls to allow the Operator to modify the view. Typically the configuration settings of <> is attached to a Tag exposed in the Display User Interface, allowing the operator to select <.>.
