Subassets are a powerful feature of ServiceTrade that allow you to make an Asset a "child" of another Asset -- that is, to indicate that it's a component of, or dependent on, another Asset.
Some example uses for this feature include:
- Linking alarm devices to the alarm system or alarm panel to which they're connected.
- Associating components of a large piece of equipment such as a generator or an HVAC unit.
Ceating a Subasset from an existing Asset
- Click the Pencil Icon next to the Asset you wish to edit.
- Select the Asset from the dropdown that you would like to designate as the Parent Asset for this new Subasset.
- All Assets that are eligible to be parents of the Asset you select will be shown in the list.
- Example: if you are editing an alarm device, then all alarm systems at this location will be available for selection.

- All Assets that are eligible to be parents of the Asset you select will be shown in the list.
Note: You can see the list of Subassets associated with any Asset by viewing the parent Asset and opening the Subassets section, as seen below.
Technicians who have access to view Asset information can also view any Asset's Subassets through the tablet web application.
