Troubleshooting & FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why don't I see any assets in my overview?

Possible causes:

  • You have filter settings that hide all assets
  • Assets are in the "Archived assets" tab
  • You don't have access rights for these assets
  • No assets have been created in the environment yet

Solution:

  1. Check the Archived tab - Click on "Archived assets" at the top of the overview
  2. Reset all filters - Clear filters and perform an empty search
  3. Check your permissions - Ask your administrator for access
  4. Create your first asset - Click "Add Asset" to begin
Note

New Tidal environments start without assets. Begin by adding your most critical business resources via the "Add Asset" button.

Can't I edit an archived asset anymore?

This is normal behavior. Archived assets are read-only to ensure data integrity.

Solution:

  1. Restore the asset from archive - Go to "Archived assets" tab
  2. Select the asset with the checkbox
  3. Click "Unarchive"
  4. The asset becomes active and can be edited again

How can I edit multiple assets at once?

Available bulk operations:

  • Assign owners - Select assets and assign the same owner
  • Archive or delete - Process multiple assets in one action

Why can't I assign an owner to an asset?

Possible reasons:

  • The person doesn't have a user account in Tidal
  • You have insufficient rights for this asset
  • The owner is assigned, but the page hasn't refreshed yet

Solution:

  1. Check user list - Type the name and check if suggestions appear
  2. Ask administrator to add the person to Tidal
  3. Refresh the page - F5 to resolve any cache problems

Where do I find the impact rating of my asset?

Impact rating locations:

  • Assets overview - "CIA rating" column shows C, I, A scores
  • Assessment tab - Complete impact analysis with details

If impact rating is empty:

  1. Go to the asset and open the "Assessment" tab
  2. Fill in CIA scores (Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability)
  3. Rating is automatically calculated based on highest score
  4. Save assessment - Impact appears in overviews

See Assessing Assets for a complete explanation.

Tip

Start with a rough assessment for all assets. A global impact rating is better than no rating, and you can always refine later.
