Link Placeholders

A placeholder defines a generic 'slot' in an asset model that can be filled with a specific rotable asset as required. Placeholders are added to asset type models in the Asset Type Tree, and then inherited by all assets of that type. Visit the Placeholders in the tree structures topic to learn more about placeholders.

Linking a placeholder enables you to select the specific asset that you want to use to 'fill' an 'empty' placeholder slot. The following types of placeholders can be inherited and linked in the Asset Tree:

• Asset placeholder
• Component placeholder

NOTE: The steps for linking asset placeholders and component placeholders are exactly the same.
