Introduction


Asset Properties allow you to extend BuiltSpace Assets to include fields that are important to your organization. This can be helpful for:


  • Completing BuiltSpace Health & Safety Audits (make use of our out-of-the-box hazard assessment Asset Properties)
  • Digital Re-commissioning. Pre-load equipment data (new construction and retrofits) for field verification by technicians using the BuiltSpace Inspections App.
  • Integrations with BAS/IoT sensors. Easily connect sensor data to maintenance Checklists by connecting them to your Asset Properties. Technicians can now complete remote assessments, and will always see the latest readings..


You can use our out-of-the-box Asset Properties already. If you'd like to define and manage your own custom list, you've found the right place. This article will show you how to:


  1. Create and edit Asset Properties, and Asset Property Groups
  2. Understand validation rules on your Asset Properties


How to create and edit Asset Properties/Asset Property Groups

Understanding Asset Properties validation rules


You will have noticed that each Asset Property comes with a Data Type field. 


The Data Type defines what kind of values are accepted for that Asset Property, whether they come from an integration or directly from a maintenance Checklist in BuiltSpace. Below is a brief description of each type:


Marker/Tag: These are self-referential values. The name of the Asset Property will be the only accepted value for that Asset Property.

Text: This data type accepts any string of characters.

Choice: This data type allows you to define a list, separated by pipe characters (eg. A|B|C).

Date: This data type accepts date in ISO format.

Time: This data type accepts time in ISO format.

Date and Time: This data type accepts Date/Time in ISO format.

Decimal Number: This data type accepts numbers with decimals.

Integer: This data type accepts all numbers.

True/False: This data type accepts boolean True or False values.

Multichoice: This data type supports lists, like the Choice data type. The difference is, this option supports multiselect. The list here is separated by commas (eg. A, B, C).

Custom: This data type is for technologically-savvy users. It accepts any regex (Regular Expression).
