What is a Spot? How do I find a Spot in the system?

This article explains what a Spot is, how to search for a Spot and data regarding the spot and how to edit Spot data on mobile and management portal.

Equipment, machines, devices and other items and different kind of assets controlled in Spotilla are referred to in the system as "Spot." For example, a Spot can also mean a person (in the personnel register), a chemical (in the chemical register) or even a contract. So you can build any kind of registry in Spotilla.

In the management portal, devices and device information are searched for and browsed under "Assets, Devices and Tools".

"Default view"-tab shows the latest updated spots. You can search spot by spot name, device card fields, by folder name or by tag number.

On the "Table view"-tab is a search field on top of every column. With these you can filter data. They make it easy to find the device you're looking for. You may search for a Spot by its name or part of the name or any attribute value, you may list Spots by folder, or even list devices by Device card ("List be device card"-tab). This will display a list of devices that are using the device card you selected and device information in question.

You may arrange data tables colums in order you wish by drag and drop. Also you may hide colums or bring attributes to the datatable.

Clicking Select saved View, you can select predefined, saved views, or device listings. These predefined views can be defined by admin (Global Views) or single user may define a view for him/herself. Learn more about saved views here.

You can enter part of the name of the device you are looking for under the "Name" field. This will give you a list of all the devices whose name contains the part of the word that you enter in the field. For example, "Air" adds all devices that contain that word to the list, such as AIR CONDITIONERS, HOT AIR FANS, etc.

Saved views are stored sets of data entered in different search fields. The administrator can create an unlimited number of different Global views for the service.

To save a view, define and organize the different columns as needed, press "Save view" --> "Create new view", then enter a name in the Name of the View section and press "Create new view".

The administrator should make the necessary views as part of the service deployment so that users have ready-made data views that contain the information they need.
