Overview

The purpose of asset groups is to gather related assets into a group so that matters concerning them can be addressed at the same time. There are a variety of places in Citywide in which Asset Groups can be created and referenced. (See Asset Groups for a full discussion on this matter.) This article refers to one of the ways of creating Asset Groups—within the GIS Viewer.

Creating an Asset Group from within the GIS module

1. Go to Home 🢡 GIS 🢡 GIS Viewer:
   
2. Click on the Layer option ❶ to select the Asset type you would like to appear on the map. The assets will be highlighted on the map. (The "Bridges" layer was selected in the following example.)
3. Click on the Selection Tool ❷ you wish to use to select the assets to be included in the group.
4. Select the assets you would like to include in the Asset Group. The bridges on the map (indicated with the red checkmarks ) were selected on this map.) They are highlighted in the GIS Viewer in blue ❸ and produce a table ❹ consisting of the assets. Dissimilar assets will appear in separate tabs ❺ according to their asset type. (In this case, only bridges were selected for the current asset group, resulting in a single tab.)
5. Click on the  icon ❻ on any row to remove it.
6. Click on the menu icon  ❼ in the table header. A menu appears.
7. Click on Asset Groups ❽. The Add to Asset Group dialog box appears:
   
8. Click  + New Asset Group  ❶ to name and create a new asset group.
9. Click Select Asset Group ❷ to add the selected assets to an existing group.
10. Click  Add  ❸.
