If you know want to add a new device to the Building Service Structure and know where it belongs in the hierarchy, you can add it to a version.

Alternatively, you can add a standalone device to VertiGIS FM as a new entrant. Another user can assign it to a version later.

Devices can also be added to VertiGIS FM by importing floor plan drawings. Refer to Floor Plans for more information.

To Add a Device to a Version

1.In the Devices section of the version details page, click the Add () icon.

However, you can change the Version to which you are adding the new device by clicking the arrow () in the Type box and selecting a new Group, Designation, and Version. Changing the Version for the new device programmatically updates the Asset Identification Key. Refer to Asset Identification Keys for more information.
