Overview
The Asset Linking feature allows users to establish relationships between Progress Assets and Takeoff Assets directly within the floorplan.
Previously, progress assets and takeoff assets existed independently, making it difficult to measure actual progress against planned scope. With this feature, users can now link related assets together to improve visibility, coordination, and tracking.
A single Takeoff Asset can be linked to multiple Progress Assets, while each Progress Asset can only be linked to one Takeoff Asset.
Once linked:
Both assets display linked asset identifiers in their detail panels
Users can quickly navigate between linked assets
Teams gain better visibility into planned vs. completed work
Benefits of Asset Linking
Improve visibility into progress against planned takeoffs
Simplify progress tracking workflows
Reduce manual coordination between field and office teams
Enable faster navigation between related assets
Maintain clear asset relationships across project stages
Linking and delinking assets is restricted to users with- Asset Management Permission. Users without this permission can view linked assets but cannot modify links.
Before linking assets, please note the following rules:
One Takeoff Asset can link to multiple Progress Assets
One Progress Asset can link to only one Takeoff Asset
Progress assets already linked to another takeoff cannot be linked again unless delinked first
During Link Mode. The Move Asset option is disabled, only compatible assets are visible on the floor plan
