Areas are the rooms, zones, or spaces within a site. Setting up areas lets you organise sensors by their physical location within a building, which makes data easier to find.
How to add an area to a site
- Open a site by clicking View Site.
- Click Add area, above the table on the right.
- Give the area a name, for example "Ground Floor Gallery", "Archive Room B", or "Loading Bay".
- Optionally pick sensors from Select sensors. You can also add them later.
- Click Create Area.
The area now appears in the site's Table view. You can then add sensors to it.
How to add units to a site
- Open a site by clicking View Site.
- Click + Add units, above the table on the right. The site settings panel opens.
- Go to the Manage units tab.
- Pick the sensors from the Add new units to this site dropdown at the bottom. You can tick more than one.
- Click Save changes.
To put sensors straight into an area, open that area from the same Manage units tab and use its Add new units to this area dropdown.
If a sensor does not belong to a specific room, you can assign it to the site without placing it in an area. It will appear in the sensor list without an area label.
A sensor cannot belong to two different sites. If you need to monitor a sensor across multiple groupings, use a Collection instead.
