Please watch this video for an overview and example of creating an asset for iTwin IoT and adding users: Creating a New Project - Register Asset
Overview
An asset, in iTwin IoT is any structure or spatial area that is being monitored by a sensor set. This asset, or project, houses sensor data and provides the module tools like dashboards, graphs, iTwin View, alerts, and reports to monitor that asset within the platform.
Once a new Bentley IMS account is created for an organization and Admin users have been added to that organization, any Admin users from that organization can access iTwin IoT with their Bentley account, and create a new iTwin IoT asset. This article will help guide you, as an Admin, in how to access iTwin IoT and create an asset.
This article will cover:
Accessing iTwin IoT
1. Go to iTwin IoT- Visit https://itwiniot.bentley.com/ on your browser (Chrome recommended).
2. Email Address- Input the email address you have associated with your Bentley IMS login.
3. Password Input- Enter your Bentley IMS password.
4. Sign-in- Click the blue sign-in button at the bottom of the login window.
Register Asset
Once logged into the app, an admin user can create an asset by following the steps below.
1 - Click on +Asset.
Configuring a New Asset
Once you click +Asset you will be redirected to the New Asset page which will prompt you to name your asset.
Once you have chosen your asset name and click done you can configure your new asset.
Asset Type: Here you can define your asset type from a pre-defined list. This is good for categorization of projects.
Time Zone: This will be the default time zone for all settings that require a time zone in your asset.
Cover Image: Here you can upload a cover image for your asset, this is the image that will be shown in the Command Center.
Machine Learning Consent: This is the ML Data Agreement that can be configured per asset. Granting consent for this agreement will enable you to use advanced ML analysis in your asset. Any ML training is contained within this asset only and is not shared between assets.
Define Asset location
Once you have configured the settings for your asset the next step is to define where your asset is, this is the default location for your asset in the iTwin Viewer.
You can either zoom into the location or enter the longitude and latitude for your asset.
Clicking on a point will select the correct latitude and longitude, but latitude and longitude can also be manually set. This will be the center of your asset.
Command Center
Once created, the assets will be shown as thumbnails in the Command Center. For more information about this Command Center page, visit the support article.
