Overview

This node operation creates a new Flexible Asset in the Cloud Radial system. It is useful for automating the addition of custom assets defined by flexible asset types, allowing users to programmatically manage asset data. For example, it can be used to create new asset records with specific fields in bulk or as part of a workflow that integrates asset management with other business processes.

Use Case Examples

1. Creating a new flexible asset by specifying its type ID and providing the asset's field data as a JSON object.
2. Automating asset creation in response to external events, such as onboarding new equipment or resources.

Properties

Output

JSON

• id - The unique identifier of the created flexible asset.
• flexibleAssetTypeId - The ID of the flexible asset type associated with the created asset.
• fields - The JSON object containing the asset's field data as provided in the input.
• createdAt - Timestamp indicating when the asset was created.
• updatedAt - Timestamp indicating the last update time of the asset.

Dependencies

• Cloud Radial API with appropriate API key credentials

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the 'Asset Type ID' is valid and exists in the Cloud Radial system; otherwise, the creation will fail.
• Verify the JSON structure in the 'Fields' property is correctly formatted and matches the expected schema for the asset type.
• If SSL errors occur, consider enabling the 'Ignore SSL Issues' option, but be aware of security implications.
• Check proxy settings if network requests fail due to connectivity issues.
• Adjust the timeout setting if the server response is slow to avoid premature request abortion.
