About the Custom Asset Hierarchy Data Loader

The Custom Asset Hierarchy Data Loader is designed to load data into the Asset Hierarchy Entity family in GE Digital APM, and is also used to relate records in that family to other families in GE Digital APM based on the relationship definitions defined in Family Management. You can create Custom Asset Hierarchy Data Loader workbooks for the following purposes:

Entity Family Data: Used to load data or records.

-and-

Relationship Family Data: Used to relate a record in an entity family to another record in different entity family.

The data loader workbooks used by the Custom Asset Hierarchy Data Loader are created using the metadata definitions configured in your GE Digital APM system. When the data is loaded, the Custom Asset Hierarchy Data Loader will trigger all of the associated field and family level rules, to ensure that the data is valid, but no further validation is done to the data. You should, however, verify that the intended data, records, or relationships are present in the GE Digital APM system after a data load has been completed.
