🧰 Assets (Mobile)

Water Works Assets tab showing a list of asset classes

The Assets tab lets field workers browse infrastructure, view details, navigate to an asset, and raise a task directly from it.

Asset Classes and Assets

Assets are organised into asset classes. Each class contains many individual assets.

Opening a class lists its individual assets.

Asset Actions

Opening an individual asset offers:

Action	Description
View Details	See the asset's information
View on Map	Open the asset's location on the Map
Get Directions	Request location permission, then show your current location and the route/distance to the asset
Create Task from this asset	Raise a new task linked to this asset

Individual asset detail screen with action buttons

Purpose Show the Create Task form pre-filled from a selected asset — e.g. name "Fix Leakage" and an assignee.

Select Asset

↓

Create Task

↓

Name: "Fix Leakage"

↓

Assign to a User

↓

Save

↓

Task appears in Tasks list immediately (local)

↓

Shows as pending in Sync Queue until synced

➜ See Tasks (Mobile) for what happens to the task after it's created.

Get Directions

Selecting Get Directions requests permission to access the device's location, then shows your current position and the route/distance to the asset.

Offline Behaviour

Asset classes and individual assets are readable offline once downloaded — data is read from local storage, so browsing assets in the field doesn't require a connection. See Offline Maps for the full offline/sync flow.

Expected Behaviour

The module should:

List asset classes, then individual assets within a class.
Show accurate asset details.
Support navigation via View on Map and Get Directions.
Allow a task to be created directly from an asset, appearing immediately in the Tasks list.
Keep working from local data while offline.
