Asset Portal is the original application for managing assets and was designed to provide a Web-based method of developing asset data, as well as a Web-based portal into asset data that you developed in Archibus Client/Server. It includes tasks that focus on establishing fundamental data about your office, telecom, and facility equipment, and furniture-- where the furniture or equipment is located, the division, department and employee using it, its identifying code, the item’s classification or standard, and its condition. If you enter cost information for you equipment and tagged furniture, such as the purchase price, salvage value, install date (for equipment) and delivery date (for furniture), you can calculate depreciation. The features of Asset Portal are available in Asset Management and Enterprise Asset Management.
Some of the Asset Portal telecom elements – such as cables, punch blocks, and positions -- originated from the Windows Client/Server Telecommunications & Cabling Management module and are not used by the Telecom Console or the Asset Management, Enterprise Asset Management, and Telecom Asset Management applications; these applications use newer methodologies that do not require this data entry. Sites that need views into these elements will find them in the CAD/BIM Overlay application, which was designed for use with Windows Client/Server. Please see What's New in this Release / Archibus V.23.1. / Integration with Windows Client-Server / Quick Review.
Note: Beginning with Archibus V.23.2, the Process Navigator does not automatically display the Asset Portal application. For information on how to display this application, see this topic: Asset Management / Asset Portal / Application Overview.
