Assets & Tags

Assets represent the physical things you track — forklifts, pallets, cold rooms, tools. Tags are the IoT devices attached to those assets. A single asset can have multiple tags.

Tags

Viewing tags

Go to Tags in the sidebar. You see a table of all tags in your organization with:

  • Tag ID — unique identifier (e.g., wirepas:12345)
  • Name — optional friendly name you assign
  • Technology — Wirepas, PowerTag, BLE, or GPS
  • Status — Active, Inactive, or Maintenance
  • Role — Wirepas mesh role (Sink, Headnode, Subnode, Router)
  • Current Asset — the asset this tag is linked to, or "Not assigned"
  • Last Seen — when the tag last reported data

Use the search bar to find tags by ID or name. Use the filters to narrow by technology or status.

Summary cards

At the top of the Tags page, four cards show:

  • Total tags in your organization
  • Active tags (currently reporting)
  • Tags assigned to assets
  • Tags connected via gateways

Tag details

Click any tag ID to see its detail page with full sensor data history — temperature, humidity, battery voltage, signal strength, and position data over time.

Viewing assets

Go to Assets in the sidebar. You can switch between two views:

  • Table view — a sortable list of all assets with name, type, tags, and last update
  • Map view — assets plotted on a map with real-time positions

Creating an asset

  1. Click Create Asset (top-right)
  2. Fill in:
    • Name — e.g., "Forklift FL-03" or "Cold Room 2"
    • Asset Type — select from your organization's types (e.g., Forklift, Pallet, Sensor)
    • Description — optional notes
  3. Click Save

Asset types

Before creating assets, define your asset types:

  1. Click Manage Asset Types on the Assets page
  2. Click Create Asset Type
  3. Enter a name (e.g., "Forklift", "Temperature Sensor", "Pallet")
  4. Save

Asset types help you filter and organize your fleet.

Assigning tags to assets

To link a tag to an asset:

  1. Open the asset's detail page (click its name)
  2. In the Tags section, click Assign Tag
  3. Select the tag from the list
  4. The tag's sensor data now appears under this asset

To remove a tag from an asset, click the dissociate button next to the tag and confirm.

Note

A tag can only be assigned to one asset at a time. Assigning it to a new asset removes it from the previous one.

Map view

The map view shows assets with known positions on an interactive map:

  • Search for assets by name in the sidebar
  • Click an asset marker to see details: type, coordinates, zone, last seen, and associated tags
  • Floor plans overlay on the map if uploaded — use the opacity slider to adjust
  • The map auto-refreshes every 30 seconds

Custom data

Assets support custom metadata fields (key-value pairs) for storing additional information like serial numbers, weight, or department. Set these via the API or when creating/editing an asset.
