A list will start to appear below the search bar. 3.   **Left-click** the location or asset from the drop-down list to zoom in to the element.  VueOps will focus on the element and turn on model slicing planes above and below to help visualize the object. To search for  **locations** (rooms and floors), start typing the name of the room or floor in the search bar. To search for  **assets** (equipment), start typing the tag for the asset.  A tag is a short name and number that is unique to the asset within the facility. It typically starts with an asset type identifier followed by a number.  For example, an air handling unit might have the tag AHU-1.   ![](https://info.vueops.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/DocsDisplay-Dec-23-2021-03-25-28-32-PM.gif)     - [Documents](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/documents?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Managing Documents](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/documents?hsLang=en#managing-documents) - [Collections](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/documents?hsLang=en#collections) - [Tags](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/documents?hsLang=en#tags) - [Warranty Tickets](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/warranty-tickets?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Manage Tickets](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/warranty-tickets?hsLang=en#manage-tickets) - [Set Up](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/warranty-tickets?hsLang=en#set-up) - [contractor](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/warranty-tickets?hsLang=en#contractor) - [Trade Partner](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/warranty-tickets?hsLang=en#trade-partner) - [Drawings](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/drawings?hsLang=en) - [Users](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/users?hsLang=en#main-content) - [User Accounts](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/users?hsLang=en#user-accounts) - [User Access](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/users?hsLang=en#user-access) - [Manage Users](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/users?hsLang=en#manage-users) - [Permission Levels and Scope](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/users?hsLang=en#permission-levels-and-scope) - [Locations](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/locations?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Location Configuration](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/locations?hsLang=en#location-configuration) - [Location Management & Operations](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/locations?hsLang=en#location-management-operations) - [Location Insights](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/locations?hsLang=en#location-insights) - [Assets](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/assets?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Asset Insights](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/assets?hsLang=en#asset-insights) - [Asset Configuration](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/assets?hsLang=en#asset-configuration) - [Asset Operations](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/assets?hsLang=en#asset-operations) - [Models](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/models?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Model Management](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/models?hsLang=en#model-management) - [Model Views](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/models?hsLang=en#model-views) - [Model Viewer](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/models?hsLang=en#model-viewer) - [Viewer Enhancements](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/models?hsLang=en#viewer-enhancements) - [Model Set](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/models?hsLang=en#model-set) - [Connecting to External Applications](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/connecting-to-external-applications?hsLang=en) - [FAQ](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/faq?hsLang=en) - [SiteLine Administration](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/siteline-administration?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Projects](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/siteline-administration?hsLang=en#projects) - [SiteLine on Mobile Devices](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/siteline-on-mobile-devices?hsLang=en) - [Procedures](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/procedures?hsLang=en#main-content) - [What is a Procedure?](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/procedures?hsLang=en#what-is-a-procedure) - [Procedure Operations](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/procedures?hsLang=en#procedure-operations) - [Programs](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/programs?hsLang=en#main-content) - [What is a Program?](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/programs?hsLang=en#what-is-a-program) - [Program Management](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/programs?hsLang=en#program-management) - [Service Requests](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/service-requests?hsLang=en#main-content) - [What is a Service Request?](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/service-requests?hsLang=en#what-is-a-service-request) - [Service Request Management](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/service-requests?hsLang=en#service-request-management) - [Work Orders](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/work-orders?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Work Order Fundamentals](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/work-orders?hsLang=en#work-order-fundamentals) - [Work Order Operations](https://info.vueops.com/knowledge/work-orders?hsLang=en#work-order-operations) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://info.vueops.com/hubfs/branding-blue-tagline-2.svg "Chill listening crop-3")](https://vueops.com) VueOps SiteLine Help Center Copyright © 2026, VueOps
