Frequently asked questions

Anyone with the permission Manage devices can use library assets from the asset library. However, to manage the library you require the permission Manage asset library.

For a smooth deployment, we recommend you first set up a single asset with the correct setup, settings, metrics, pages, and other settings. This way you can test and verify that the setup is correct and functional before you apply it on a larger scale. Then, you can make that into one or multiple smaller library assets. Once that is done, the library asset is available to apply to the rest of your fleet.

1. Go to Fleet Manager > Assets and click on your asset name.
2. In the asset tree, click on a sub-asset, in the top right corner open More options, and click Add to library.
    

The sub-asset is automatically changed into an instanced asset. Meaning it's linked to the library asset and any changes that are made to the library asset can easily be applied to all linked sub-assets.

At the bottom of the asset tree, open the asset tree editor . Drag your library asset from the library into your asset tree.

Some settings cannot be changed, like the name and description, because it is linked to and controlled from a library asset, while other settings are free to be edited on each individual instanced asset, like a custom field.

This enables both easily being able to manage settings for your entire fleet from inside the library asset as well as allowing for flexibility by enabling certain invidual settings to be edited on an asset by asset basis.

1. Go to Fleet Manager > Library and click on your library asset name.
   • Alternatively, you can also open this by finding an instanced asset in the asset tree, in the top right corner open More options, and click Edit in library.
      
2. Make your changes.
3. In the top right corner you can either Publish and update, which saves the library asset and updates all linked sub-assets, or just Publish, which only saves the library asset.

1. Go to Fleet Manager > Library and click on your library asset name.
   • Alternatively, you can also open this by finding an instanced asset in the asset tree, in the top right corner open More options, and click Edit in library.
      
2. In the top right corner open More optionsand click Remove.
   • This will remove the library asset and change all the instanced assets to regular assets.
