Asset type

Alert: Cisco has made the end-of-life (EOL) announcement for the Cisco Industrial Asset Vision (IAV).

Customers can have various types of assets, and the attributes for these distinct assets can vary. Hence, the Industrial Asset Vision solution allows the customer to create asset types with custom attributes. These custom attributes can be used while creating assets to capture additional metadata/information for each asset present in the system.
