Service Providers can propose an asset for service to the Operator for a machine that they created on symmedia Hub.

As Operator tenants are self managed, they are free to accept theses asset proposals. The Operator can accept or decline asset proposals if he does not want to use the services provided with this proposal.


Info

License subscription: Assets that are created based on a proposal of a Service Provider are free of charge in the symmedia Hub for the Operator of the asset.

For details see: Licenses


Asset proposals are displayed at the top of the asset overview page.


As an Operator, you can

  • choose Image Modified

or

  • Image Modified if you want to decline

the offer for providing service by the Service Provider for this respective machine.

After clicking Image Modified, you can

  • enter a custom name for this asset under Asset name.

Asset Creation
Anchor
AssetCreation
AssetCreation


The symmedia Hub allows Operators to create assets on their own and without the link to a Service Provider. It is possible to use internal Service Case Management for these Assets or purchase Edge Devices from symmedia and pair them to the assets to use connected features such as Remote Access or File Transfer. Furthermore, it is possible (with the support of the symmedia consulting team) to invite and onboard the Service Providers of these assets to the platform and request service for these assets. 

If you want to use these features with your asset or if you have questions, get in touch with us at https://symmedia.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1/group/1/create/15.


Info

Assets that are created based on a proposal of a Service Provider are free of charge in the symmedia Hub for the Operator of the asset.

Assets that are created by the own tenant (not based on the proposal of a Service Provider) and that are not in the state DEACTIVATED are NOT free of charge. The license costs are according to your signed SaaS agreement that can be viewed by users with the tenant admin role at Settings → Company. 

If your tenant has not aligned billing information with symmedia, Assets that are created will be automatically set to DEACTIVATED and therefore free of charge. An activation of these Assets is only possible when billing informations are aligned (see also the following chapter "Deactivate Assets" for more information).
