Station

Overview

The Stations page allows the user to create, remove, group, and configure stations. Stations mirror real-world workstations and help encapsulate relationships between devices at a workstation.

The devices at a workstation can include:

• Display devices (tablets, laptops, phones)
• Gateways with connected devices
• Machines

In addition, users can see the live status of the app running at the station using the “Station Preview” window.
