Assetlevel

Assetlevel is a term used in asset management and information systems to denote the level or tier at which an asset is managed, tracked, or governed within an organization. It can refer to a position in an asset hierarchy, a measure of criticality, or a data attribute that defines the scope of management applied to the asset. The concept helps align planning, maintenance, budgeting, and governance by grouping assets according to function, location, risk, or responsibility.

In practice, assetlevel supports models of asset hierarchy (for example site, system, subsystem, asset) and can influence maintenance strategies and access controls. In many systems it is implemented as a field in an asset registry or CMMS, with values that are numeric or categorical. The exact interpretation of assetlevel varies by organization, so clear definitions and consistent documentation are essential.
