Adding Groups and Subgroups
After points are created in the
shortBrandName database, you can recombine these points into multiple different functional collections called Groups. You can also create Subgroups to further sort your data points within Point Groups. A single point may coexist in multiple groups. There is no limit to the number of Groups or Subgroups that you can create.By identifying data points as part of a saved “Point Group”, you can reduce the need to manually find and select individual points over and over again. For example, a maintenance supervisor in the Midwest Region may frequently need a report on chiller points in Indiana. Instead of having to individually select the same chiller points each time a report is generated, a “Chiller_IN” Point Group can be created that contains that set of points. The supervisor can then refer to this group each time a new report on those data points needs to be created.
Point groups can be edited or deleted without affecting the actual data points in the database, since groups are simply functional collections of the data points for the purpose of running the reports. Deleting the data point from a group or deleting a group does not delete the actual data point record from the database.
Note: For a user to create Sites, the user must have Admin Write permissions in the station. For a user to create Groups, the user must have Operator Write permissions. To make Groups public, the user must have Admin Write permissions.
