How to name an asset?

The asset name cannot be duplicated.

One common asset naming convention is to construct the asset name based on its location and/or a special identifier and the asset's type.

Many, possibly most well-known assets are named in this way.

Location Identifier Asset Type Name
625 Passenger Lift 625 Passenger Lift
Carpark Entrance - Barrier Carpark Entrance Barrier
Conference Room - Projector Conference Room Projector

The identifier doesn't need to be the name of functionality as in the examples above - it can be used to distinguish between two similar assets located close together

Location Identifier Asset Type Name
625 No.3 Cargo Lift  625 No.3 Cargo Lift
Wisteria Condo No. 3 Lift Wisteria Condo No. 3 Lift
AIC Block 625 No. 1 Water Pump AIC Block 625 No. 1 Water Pump
