Aggregation enables the parent asset to be automatically updated with the child asset’s activities and metadata. Activity aggregation only adds activities and always flows upwards in a hierarchy.  Metadata aggregation always flows upwards and displays all changes made lower in the hierarchy.

Aggregation

Description

When a child asset is assigned to a parent asset, the child asset’s activities and attribute values are automatically added to the parent asset.

Aggregation when moving an Asset

When a child asset is moved, the attribute values are removed from the parent asset attribute total. The child asset activities will remain activated for the parent asset.

Aggregation when editing an Asset

Description

When a child asset’s activities or attributes are updated, the parent asset is automatically updated to include the new activities or the attributes.
