Hudu Tips & Tricks:
Gold Standards
Hudu's Gold Standards feature provides the ability to designate asset entries as “Gold Standards”, essentially marking them as examples of what high-quality documented assets should look like.
- A successful strategy we've seen for Gold Standards is to have multiple gold standards for each asset layout, as there may be differences between specific assets.
- Additionally, we recommend Gold Standards having real data, not dummy data.
In order to mark an asset as a Gold Standard, navigate to the desired asset. Once in that asset, click more options, and then select "Make Gold Standard". Once selected, the asset should have a gold bar under its name as seen here:
Now, once you have your Gold Standard(s) created, the Gold Standards tab of your Hudu admin area will provide up to your top three gold standard assets for each asset layout:
Now, when going in to an asset layout and adding a new asset, the Gold Standard examples populate on the right side of the page, as seen below. This ensures that if an individual is adding a new asset to any company, they have quality examples to follow.
