Optrix Documentation

The Location hierarchy is the only hierarchy that is pre-installed in your ARDI system.

It is intended to describe the location of your assets - if an asset is inside or part of another.

By detailing which asset is within which asset, you eventually form a 'tree' structure - like that found below.

In this example, the sensor is inside Cabinet 1A, which itself is in Building B, which is in turn in our main site.

Note that not all of your assets in your location hierarchy need to be physical assets. In many cases, a site may be broken up into logical areas that encompass a number of buildings (or a building will be broken into areas that encompass multiple machines). These are excellent logical_assets to create and place in your location hierarchy.

The location hierarchy is special, as it's used to create the full_name of your asset.
