Areas are the rooms, zones, or spaces within a site. Setting up areas lets you organise sensors by their physical location within a building, making data easier to find and understand.
How to add an area
- Open a site by clicking View Site.
- Click + Add area in the top right corner.
- Give the area a name, for example "Ground Floor Gallery", "Archive Room B", or "Loading Bay".
- Save the 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 in the top right corner.
- Select the sensors you want to assign to this site.
- Choose which area each sensor belongs to.
- Save.
You can also add sensors from the site settings panel using the Add new sensors to building dropdown in the General tab.
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.
