A factory has many pieces of similar equipment, and attaching a description makes it easier to identify a particular asset. Descriptors have general information about an asset such as the manufacturer, model name, and model number. Each copy of the asset has the same descriptor. Asset Tags have specific information about a particular asset, such as the company inventory number and the asset serial number. Each copy of an asset can have its own asset tag.
Asset tags and descriptors created in Inventor Factory also display in Navisworks Factory. Move the cursor over an asset to see the information in a floating tooltip.
