The component type reference
What it is for
Your portfolio is described with a shared vocabulary: every element — building, dwelling, wall, boiler, lift — matches a component type in the reference.
This report lets you explore that reference: which types exist, under which name and which code, and how they relate to one another.
Examples of when it comes in useful:
- before building a query, to know which type to target and the name it goes under;
- when you come across an unfamiliar label in an export or in the platform;
- when you want to know whether a piece of equipment is described in the portfolio, or what it is called.
How to get there
⚙️ Settings in the sidebar › Reference: component types.
Finding a component
Two filters let you search:
| Filter | What it lets you do |
|---|---|
| Component name | Search by name — "boiler", "fence"… |
| Component code | Search by the reference code, if you know it |
"cloture", "Clôture" and "CLOTURE" all return the same result. So you can type the simplest form, without worrying about how the label was entered.
The Component name filter searches every level of the reference, down to the finest characteristic. Searching "gate" therefore finds both a family and the precise variant carrying that word.
Good to know
This reference describes the types, not your components themselves. To find a given piece of equipment in a property, go through Querying your data or the search in the Plans tab.
The reference is shared across organisations: you only see the types actually present in your portfolio, but their names and codes are not configurable per organisation. If a label looks wrong to you, raise it with your usual contact.
