Overview
The View Asset page in Cordel Connect provides a consolidated view of a single asset (such as a signal, sign, pole, or other tracked infrastructure item). From here you can inspect the asset's core details, see where it sits on the map, review every audit in which it has appeared, and follow its full activity history — including comments and system actions.
You can reach this page from the Assets list by clicking on an asset's name, or by following any link that references the asset (for example, from an audit row or a notification). The breadcrumb at the top of the page — Home › Assets › View Asset — lets you navigate back to either parent view at any time.
Page Layout
The page is divided into two columns. The left column is dedicated to the list of audits in which this asset appears, while the right column groups three stacked panels: the map preview, the asset details, and the asset history.
Audits List (Left Column)
This panel lists every audit that has captured or referenced the current asset. Each row in the table shows the capture date, the company that performed the audit, the assignee responsible for it, the region (where applicable), the position or coverage section the audit covered, the audit's current status, and the total number of assets included in that audit.
At the top of the panel you can filter the list using three controls. The Select status… dropdown narrows the results to audits in a particular workflow state (for example, In progress or Published). The Capture started from and Capture started to date pickers limit the list to audits whose capture window falls between the dates you choose. Click Submit to apply your filters or Reset to clear them and return to the full list.
The Sort by dropdown below the filters controls the order of the rows. By default, audits are sorted by Capture date (Newest – Oldest), but you can change this to suit your workflow.
Clicking a row's capture date opens the corresponding Audit detail page, where you can review every asset in that audit. Standard pagination controls sit beneath the table, along with a Rows per page selector so you can adjust how many audits are shown at once.
Map Preview
The map panel displays the asset's geographic position. The asset's location is marked with a labelled pin, and the surrounding route or corridor is drawn as a coloured line so you can see how the asset relates to its coverage area. Use the Map, Dark, and Satellite toggles in the top-left of the map to change the basemap style, and use the + and – controls in the bottom-right to zoom in and out. You can click and drag inside the map to pan.
Details Panel
The Details panel summarises the static information that defines the asset. The fields shown include:
-
Asset ID — the unique internal identifier for the asset.
-
Name — the human-readable label, often derived from the asset's type and position (for example, SIGNAL [10006[391,214.19]]).
-
Description — an optional free-text field for additional context.
-
Type and Subtype — the asset's classification within your Cordel taxonomy.
-
Inspection Date — the date the asset was most recently inspected.
-
Position — the latitude and longitude coordinates of the asset.
-
Coverage — the route or section the asset belongs to, including its chainage.
-
Status — the asset's lifecycle state (for example, Existing, New, or Removed).
To update any of these fields, click the Edit (pencil) icon in the top-right of the panel. This opens an editable form where you can amend the values and save your changes. Editing rights depend on your user role.
History Panel
The History panel records the full activity timeline for the asset and is split into three tabs:
-
All shows every entry — system events, user comments, and recorded actions — in chronological order. A typical first entry is "System created the record", accompanied by the timestamp and a note such as the audit that first identified the asset.
-
Comments filters the timeline to show only user-authored notes.
-
Actions filters it to show only structured actions (for example, status changes or assignments) that have been logged against the asset.
To add a new note, type into the Add a comment… field at the top of the panel and submit it. Comments are visible to other users who have access to the asset, so they are a useful way to share observations, flag follow-up work, or record decisions. Where an entry supports a follow-up workflow, an Actions button appears on the right of that entry, allowing you to take the next step directly from the timeline.
Typical Workflow
When troubleshooting an asset, start with the Details panel to confirm you are looking at the correct record, then check the Map to verify its position. Use the Audits list to trace how the asset has changed over time — comparing the most recent In progress audit with the most recently Published one is often the quickest way to spot pending updates. Finally, use the History panel to leave context for colleagues or to capture decisions that other users will need to see when they open the asset later.
