Update Asset Attributes via GIS
Introduction
Updating an Assetic asset with GIS sourced attributes may be required where the GIS remains as the master source. This may include spatially derived attributes such as length and area, or other attributes that are more readily managed in the GIS such as maintenance zone which is determined by overlapping a 'Maintenance Zone' layer in the GIS.
Bulk Update via Data Exchange
As per the article Create New Assets from GIS Data, Data Exchange may be used to manage the bulk update of asset attributes. This can be a periodic process or initiated on an 'as required basis' such as following a large scale change to attributes such as rezoning.
Using a bulk update process has the advantage of re-syncing the data to overcome any data mismatches that may have occurred.
Per Asset Update via API
The Assetic REST API's may be used to update the attributes of an existing asset on a per asset basis. Refer to the article Update Asset for further detail on these API's.
The spatial definition of the asset may also be updated via the Assetic REST API PUT /api/v2/assets/{id}/location. Refer to the article Create or Update Asset Spatial Data for further detail on this API.
