Introduction
Data sources provide your assets with the information that is displayed to the user. The data comes from the gateway that is connected to your asset.
Instructions
Click Assets in the navigation menu.
Click on the asset whose data source you want to change and go to the Data Sources tab.
Press the Swap data source button if it is available.
If not, go to the subsection Manually Exchange Data Sources.
Enter the serial number of the new gateway in the With field, and click the Swap button.
If there has never been a gateway associated with this asset before, the Replace field will be empty.
A new tab will open where you can check the changes. Click Confirm if the changes are correct.
If you add a data source from another gateway, the smart gateway swap button will no longer be available.
If the swap cannot be made 100% successful, you will also receive a notification.
The data sources that can be successfully exchanged will also be exchanged. For data sources where this is not possible, they must be entered manually.
Manually exchange data sources
The instructions in this section should only be executed if the Swap data source button is not available or if you prefer to make the data source adjustments manually.
Click on the pencil icon next to the data source name and click on Add data source.
If you hover your mouse over a data source, the raw address appears in a black bar with the slave ID at the end.
When adding a new data source, the date enters when it was built-in. To do this, activate the toggle button Use start date.
Then you can select a date.
Enter an end date for the old gateway. This is the date on which it was replaced.
You can enter an end date by clicking on the timeline of the old gateway.
Activate the Use end date toggle switch and select a date.
Then press Save.
Advanced data source management
Some assets require data from multiple gateways and/or data sources.
To edit a specific data source, click on the pencil icon to the right of the data source.
Next, the page for advanced data source management appears.
You can add a new data source using the Add data source button.
Add data source
Click the Add Data Source button.
You can add any data source to your asset via this tab.
You can select a start and end date for that data source.
If you do not want this, simply turn off Use start date.
Adjust data source
You can manage data sources by clicking on the horizontal bar of the data source.
When you click on Edit, a tab will open where you can edit the selected data source.
By clicking Stop, the data source will no longer send new data to this asset.
It may take a few minutes for this action to be fully visible everywhere.
You can also Remove a data source. When you remove a data source from an asset, that asset will behave as if it was never linked to the data source.
Old data from this data source will no longer be displayed in this asset.
