Working with Assets (Admin Only)
Assets represent your physical and digital connected assets. Assets implement asset types which are thing templates in ThingWorx with a PTC:AssetType model tag.
A thing template must implement the PTC:AssetType model tag to appear in the following places in ThingWorx Asset Management:
The Asset Type drop-down menu on the Search page
The Asset Type drop-down menu on the Create Asset and Bulk Load pages
The Select an asset type drop-down menu on the Asset Visibility page
The Asset Type drop-down menus in the targeted asset searches in ThingWorx Software Content Management
For information on modeling assets and model entity types, see the Modeling and Model Entity Types topics in the ThingWorx Core help center.
