Organization definition

Defines a company or other entity considered to be an "owner" for the particular asset. Organizations have associated contacts (not to be confused with Partner contacts). You create organizations in the Platform and define locations for those organizations, and then assign the organizations to assets and assign one or more contacts to those organizations. One organization can have multiple associated locations.

Organizations are created in the Enter the details for this new organization page (available from the Configuration application - New menu). You can associate a location with an organization in the Configuration application - View menu - Organizations, Enter a name and description for this organization page.

You assign an organization to an asset when creating or editing that asset in the asset wizard (from the Configuration application). When doing so, you can select which location to associate with the selected organization. Additionally, for gateway assets you can specify that all assets managed by that gateway are associated with the same organization and location (Gateway Organization page in Gateway wizard).
