Add and place assets

🏢 Every air handling unit, fuse box or fire extinguisher in a building is an asset. Add it where it stands on the floor plan, with a type and a photo, so others can find it when it needs inspecting or fixing.

You need the Editor role or higher.

Add an asset where it stands

  1. Open the site, building and floor the asset is on. Tap Add new in the toolbar at the bottom of the map and choose Asset. With no site open, a dialog asks for the Site and Building first.

  2. A banner reads Click the map to place asset. Tap the spot on the floor plan. Tap inside a space and the asset belongs to that space. On the outdoor map it is placed on the site. To add it without a marker, tap Skip in the banner.

  3. The asset opens in its detail card as No name. Tap Name and type what it is.

You can also right-click the floor plan, or press and hold on a phone, and choose Add and then New asset.

Give it a type, a photo and its details

  • Select a type for your asset. The asset type decides which data fields the asset carries and which inspections it belongs in. Owners and Admins can create a new type from the same field. See Add an asset type.

  • Photo: tap the camera button on the card, or Add new under Attachments. On a phone the camera opens.

  • Warranty valid until, Description, and the data fields of the type.

Move or copy it

  • Relocate in the three-dot menu, or on the location banner, starts Click the map to relocate.

  • Copy asset makes a new asset with the same name, type and data fields, placed where you tap next.

  • Clear position removes the marker. The asset stays on the floor.

  • On a computer, hold Shift and drag a selected marker, or press M and drag.

  • To move an asset to another building on the same site, choose Relocate, pick the building in the selector and tap the new spot. An asset cannot move to another site.

  • To keep an asset without a floor or a building, open the location banner on its card and choose the empty line in Set story or clear the building. It then belongs to the building or the site as a whole.

Connect a QR code

In the three-dot menu choose Connect QR code and enter the code printed on the label: 4 to 16 lowercase letters or digits. Then Connect. Scanning the label with a phone camera opens the asset in Vyer.

If it doesn't work

There is no Asset in Add new

Viewers cannot add assets. Ask an Admin in your organization to change your role. See Get access when something is missing.

Tapping the map does nothing

On a floor plan the tap has to land on the drawing, a space or an asset, not on the empty area around it. Or tap Skip.

Zoom in to place a pin

On the outdoor map, zoom in closer to the building and tap again.

There is no Delete asset

Assets that come from the building's 3D model cannot be deleted. Only assets added in Vyer can.
