In order to set the right connections between sites, assets & components we suggest you follow this order when importing information: Sites, Assets, Sub Assembly and finally importing components. 

So to clarify the definitions: 

Site: can be a wind farm, project or location.

Assets: are technical facilities, they could be turbines or other power plants, substations or cables. An asset consists of sub-assemblies, which consist of components.

Sub-assembly: a unit of components assembled separately but designed to fit with other units in a manufactured product (in this case a WTG).

Components: are the single parts belonging to an asset e.g Blade.

Inventory: can be generators, forklift, toilets etc, which you can book for use on certain activities, so it'll be blocked for booking for other activities.

Power curve: the power curve is a graph that indicates how large the electrical power output will be for the turbine at different wind speeds.

PLEASE NOTE: An asset is necessary in order to be able to create a work order. Every asset created has must belong to a site. Sites and assets are the baselines of all information in the tool. Each asset can include as many components as needed.
