Overview of the Asset Management Web Pages
The main pages for the asset management part of the Model Manager server web interface consist of:
The Asset Page. The page for an individual asset. The Asset page enables you, for example, to view and edit the attribute fields of the asset, browse the version history to access older versions of the asset, compare two versions to see what changes were made in-between these versions, or navigate to models and data files linked by the asset.
The Model Page. The page for an individual model. From the Model page, you can view and edit metadata fields for the model, including its title and description fields. You can also save a new version of the model by uploading an MPH file from your computer, or download the version by exporting it as an MPH file to your computer. Built, computed, and plotted data may be optionally excluded in the downloaded file. You can also browse the model tree contents of the model version, as well as browse its relationships to other assets and data files in the system.
The File Page. The page for an individual data file. Similar to the Model page, the File page enables you to view and edit metadata fields for the file, update its file contents by uploading a new file from your computer, as well as download its file contents as a file to your computer. You can also browse its relationships to other assets and models in the system.
The Home Page. The start page of the asset management system from which you can either search for assets in your asset libraries, or for models and data files in your repositories. The web browser automatically navigates to this page after you log in to the web interface — see Accessing the Web Interface. You can access the Home page from other pages by clicking either the COMSOL logo or the Home link in the top navigation bar.
For a new Model Manager server database, there are no assets, models, or data files in the database so the Home page shows an empty search result.
See Database Administration for the administration of the asset management system.
