# Platform Overview

SensorUp provides a comprehensive platform for your methane management program. This guide summarizes each section of the platform and how they work together.

## Platform sections

### Assets

Manage your digital asset registry including facilities, equipment, wells, and components. Assets provide the foundation for contextualizing all observations and emissions data across the platform.

**Key capabilities:**

* Define and organize asset hierarchies
* Track asset lifecycle and status
* Link observations to specific assets
* Manage asset metadata and relationships

[Learn more about Assets →](/use-sensorup/assets/getting-started)

### Emission Operations

Transform detection data into systematic compliance workflows with integrated event management, quantification, analysis, and reporting capabilities.

**Key capabilities:**

* Manage emission events from detection through resolution
* Perform root cause analysis and attribution
* Calculate emission volumes with industry-standard methods
* Generate insights and analytics for operational improvement

[Learn more about Emission Operations →](/use-sensorup/getting-started/building-complete-methane-management-program)

### Work Management

Manage field operations and office workflows from detection through resolution. Issues, tasks, forms, and results work together to capture structured data during field operations and office work, with Outpost Mobile as the companion app for field crews.

**Key capabilities:**

* Track follow-up issues triggered by flyover detections
* Break down issues into actionable tasks
* Use customizable forms to capture structured field operations and office data
* Generate results documenting leaks, vents, and repairs
* Complete tasks via web or mobile app

### Settings

Configure platform settings including unit conversions, user management, and system preferences.

**Key capabilities:**

* Manage unit conversion preferences
* Configure SQL viewer access
* Add and manage users
* Set user roles and permissions

## How the sections connect

The following diagram shows how the core data entities in SensorUp connect to enable end-to-end methane management:

### Understanding the workflow

1. **[Assets](/use-sensorup/assets/getting-started)** - Your facilities, wells, equipment, and components form the foundation of the platform
2. **[Emission Events](/use-sensorup/emission-operations/event-management/getting-started-with-event-management)** - Summarize one or more Emission Observations into a calculated duration, rate and total volume. Also used for user attribution and emissions resolution.
3. **[Emission Observations](/use-sensorup/getting-started/building-complete-methane-management-program)** - Individual detections from flyovers or OGI surveys are linked to assets and grouped into events
4. **[Issues](/use-sensorup/field-operations/issues-tasks/overview)** - A request from an emission observation triggers a workflow starting with an issue that requires field operations and office verification
   * **Tasks** - Issues are broken down into actionable tasks completed via web or [Outpost Mobile](/use-sensorup/outpost-mobile/overview)
   * **Results** - Task completion generates results that document leaks, vents, or repairs, and can be configured to create new emission observations
5. **[Forms](/use-sensorup/field-operations/forms/overview)** - Customizable templates that define the structure of tasks and the schema for results
