Asset Field in Connected Forms

Some forms are designed to inspect assets, such as vehicles, trailers, or equipment. When you create a form you can add an Asset field option that enables the user to link that form and any related issues directly to your assets in Samsara. Users can connect a form to an asset through the Select Asset field. Connected Forms pulls the list of assets by name from the Assets Summary ( Overview ( ) > Assets ) in your Samsara dashboard and displays them for a user to select from.

If the user is offline or cannot find the asset in the list they can also manually add one.

If a users adds an asset manually, it will not add a new asset entry into your Samsara dashboard asset list. To manage your assets individually or in bulk, see Manage Your Gateways.

From the Samsara dashboard you can access your Issues Inbox and filter issues by asset number to view all the issues associated with that asset number. This helps you gain visibility into the status of an asset's previously submitted open issues, and can reduce duplicate issues.

To create or add an asset field in your form that enables users to select from your organization's list of assets, see Create or Delete a Digital Form.
