Add a Link to an Asset

Learn how to add a link to an asset in Perspio Inspector to share important information directly on the asset record.

Overview

This article explains how to add a link to an asset in the Perspio Inspector module.

Adding a link is a useful way to share important information directly on the asset record, so users can quickly access supporting resources without leaving the asset context.

Examples include:

  • Manufacturer manuals

  • Service guides

  • Job sheets

  • External reference pages

  • Customer or supplier portals

This article also explains the three link actions shown next to a saved link:

  1. Edit the Link

  2. Share the Link

  3. Delete the Link

Before you begin, ensure:

  • You are logged in to Perspio

  • You have WRITE permission to the Asset Inspector module

  • You have permission to view and update the relevant Asset

  • You have the URL/link you want to add to the asset

Troubleshooting

I cannot see the links option

  • Confirm the asset drawer is open

  • Check your permissions for viewing/editing asset links

  • Refresh the page and reopen the asset record

The link does not save

  • Confirm the URL is entered correctly

  • Make sure required fields are completed before clicking Update

  • Refresh the page and try again

The link appears, but opens the wrong page

  • Use the Edit icon to correct the URL

  • Confirm the full URL was entered correctly (including https:// if required)

I accidentally deleted a link

  • Re-add the link using Add Link

  • If needed, retrieve the URL from your source documentation or browser history

Notes

  • Links are attached to the specific asset record you opened

  • Use links to share important information directly on the asset record for faster access by operations, service, and support teams

  • The three action icons next to each saved link are Edit, Share, and Delete (in that order)
