Create Asset Dialog

This dialog is opened whenever you try to create a new asset, for example from the New button on the Instances Panel or the Search Panel. It asks you to enter essential information about the new asset including labels but also any mandatory properties.

Fields

• Label will become the label (rdfs:label) of the new asset.

• ID will be used as identifier (URI) of the asset.

• Type is visible when the ontology declares subclasses of the context class, allowing you to select the specific class you want to instantiate.

There will be additional fields for each property that is declared to have a minimum count (sh:minCount) of 1.

• Mark as incomplete appears when the form has such mandatory fields. It declares the new asset as incomplete (sh:incomplete true), so that its missing required values are reported as uncritical and can be entered later, see SHACL Validation. They do not block the creation if the asset collection allows incomplete data, see Manage > Incomplete Data Does Not Block Changes.

Hint

The additional fields are marked mandatory, and a constraint violation will be shown if you leave them blank. If the values cannot be entered at creation time, tick Mark as incomplete, or elect to proceed anyway and add the missing values later. If you think a property should not be required to be entered on creation, talk to the ontology designer whether the minCount should be dropped.
