Glossary

Asset Group
The model data and results in the database are organised into a flexible hierarchy; within the hierarchy the database items are grouped into manageable units. The top level of the database hierarchy is the Asset Group. Each database contains one or more asset groups. You may also create additional levels in the database hierarchy by defining subsidiary network groups within a top-level network group.
CSV
CSV is one implementation of a delimited text file, which uses a comma to separate values.
CSV files
Comma Separated Variable file format is a standard file format that can be imported and exported by many software packages. Many types of data can be imported and exported using csv format by InfoAsset Manager.
Current Active Window
The current Active Window in any Microsoft Windows application has a differently coloured title bar to all the other windows. In the default colour scheme, the active window title bar is blue, all other windows have a grey title bar.
GUID
A Globally Unique IDentifier, or GUID, is an automatically generated identifier that is guaranteed to be unique across all systems. It is generated using a complex algorithm based on the date and time and the individual computer's network card ID. GUIDs take the form {629810C2-3F6B-11D3-9BF3-00600891B690} and you will see them in a number of places where uniqueness is essential.
InfoAsset Mobile
InfoAsset Mobile is an Innovyze application intended for use with InfoAsset Manager, to ease the collection of asset data in the field and to facilitate the seamless transfer to an InfoAsset Manager database.
Native Units
The default units used within InfoAsset Manager. These are metric units and are used to carry out all underlying calculations within InfoAsset Manager.
On-premise database
A workgroup or standalone database that is stored on a server or your machine.
SaaS
Software as a Service
Transportable Database
Transportable Databases store copies of some or all the data from an InfoAsset Manager on-premise database for transfer purposes.
Unique Database Identifier
A unique GUID is used to give a unique ID to every new database that you create. This ID is then used when creating sub-directories for database data in both the Local Root and Remote Root directories.
User Units
Units used for display purposes. The display units are set up on the Units Page of the Options Dialog. InfoAsset Manager converts the displayed values into InfoAsset Manager Native Units for storage and calculation.
version controlled item
Version controlled items have an extra level of management within the database. Changes to these items can be committed to create a series of versions of the same item. You can also create branches from any version. Only the differences between versions are stored in the database. Version controlled items can be locked to prevent accidental deletion.
