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 |
