Set and Link Placeholder Asset Type Components

Objective

Linking a placeholder asset type component identifies a specific asset type that will be added to the asset type model in the asset type tree. A placeholder asset type component - linked can only be added to an asset type model as a placeholder asset type component.

The placeholder asset type component must first be set as a placeholder before it can be linked to an asset type.

How to link a placeholder asset type component

1. Open the placeholder asset type component's edit screen.
2. Use the Set Placeholder custom action in the Assist panel in the sidebar. The Regular Asset Types screen opens.
3. Select a regular asset type from the grid and click Accept.
4. With the edit screen still open, use the Set Linked Asset Type custom action in the Assist panel in the sidebar. The Regular Asset Types screen opens.
5. Select a regular asset type from the grid and click Accept.
6. Click Save. The Please Confirm dialog opens.
7. Select the required options and click Accept.
8. Click Save and Close.

As a result

A placeholder asset type component - linked is added to the asset type or regular asset type component in the asset type tree.

Keep in mind

A placeholder asset type component cannot be linked to an asset type that has an in-place asset type or placeholder asset type child item.
