Kaa Asset Management (Kaa Next): Asset Types to Endpoint Dashboards | Tutorial

Build a clean, asset-driven dashboard flow in Kaa Next - from defining Asset Types to navigating Endpoint-level pages. We’ll group endpoints under static entities (like offices), wire up relations, and use variables to automatically scope widgets, so your dashboards stay relevant without manual filtering. 💡 This tutorial uses Kaa Next. Some UI elements may look different in your environment. ✅ Prerequisites 1. Basic understanding of Kaa Application and Kaa Endpoint 2. You’ve created a few endpoints (even dummy ones are fine) 3.
