    Depending on your selection you can add a parent asset/node or a child asset/node. If you do not select any asset/node on the Model Listing page and simply click the Add [+] icon, you will create a parent asset/node. To create a child asset/node, you need to select an asset/node that you want to be considered as the parent node.
    NOTE:
    You can create as many child assets/nodes as per your requirement. There is no specific limit to create child assets/nodes.
The assets you create in FactoryTalk DataMosaix get populated in the CDF portal simultaneously. You can view the assets you create in FactoryTalk DataMosaix on the CDF portal by navigating to
