Playground management assets in VertiGIS FM Greenspaces are managed hierarchically, which means all items must organized into a two- or three-level structure.

Playground Management Structure

The playground management structure or inventory management structure is used to manage individual assets installed in your green areas. This structure is not only used to manage playground assets, like swings, slides, and sandboxes, but other assets used in green areas, like benches, fences, sports equipment, and more.

The playground management structure follows a hierarchical structure of groups > designations ("Names") > versions ("Types") > inventory items, or individual assets. Generally, assigning properties, characteristics, or measurements to a higher node means they are inherited by or made available to the assets below them in the hierarchy.

Refer to Device and Systems Structure and Component Structure for other examples of hierarchical structures used in VertiGIS FM.

Each hierarchy must have a group as its highest level, and a version as the lowest level to which you can directly add assets (i.e., items). Structures can also have a designation below the group if assets within the group require an additional sorting node.
