.. _CreateAssetDialog: Create Asset Dialog ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This dialog is opened whenever you try to create a new asset, for example from the **New** button on the :ref:`InstancesPanel` or the :ref:`SearchPanel`. 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. .. hint:: While the additional fields are marked mandatory, and a constraint violation will be shown if you leave them blank, you can still elect to proceed and add the missing values later. Sometimes this is difficult or impossible to enter at creation time. 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. **See Also** * :ref:`CreateNodeShapeDialog` * :ref:`InstancesPanel` * :ref:`Modify_CreateInstance` * :ref:`SearchPanel` **Further Reading on TopBraid** * :ref:`introduction`
