Getting started with VPVision
Before VPVision can start collecting data you need to configure your input devices and dashboard
pages.
6.1
Terminology
Pages
Pages contain a collection of
widgets
, they function as dashboard pages.
Widgets
Widgets represent the data recorded from your
input devices.
Input devices
Input devices are the physical devices connected to your system.
Reports
Reports, similar to
pages,
contain a collection of
report modules
representing the
recorded data. Reports are generated as a PDF file and can be configured to be
periodically generated and sent through mail.
Report modules
Report modules, similar to
widgets,
represent the recorded data. They are a
slightly simplified static variant of the
widgets.
Alarms
Alarms are configured to monitor the state of an input device. Alarms can be
configured to trigger a notification when a certain threshold has been reached.
6.2
Accessing the site settings
The sidebar, on the left side of the application, will provide direct access
to your configured pages and to commonly used site settings like,
Managing pages, Reports and Setting up Alarms.
By clicking the “Site settings” button you’ll be directed to the backend
where you can configure all available site settings.
