Work List

The work list displays the units that are being monitored. Two view modes are available: Units and Groups. In the Groups mode, you can see the group names and the number of units included in it. Tap the line with the name of the group to see the list of units.

Work list generation modes

When you sign in to the application, units are automatically added to the work list if it was previously empty. If you have more than 100 units, add the required units yourself.

The contents of the unit and group work lists depend on the option selected in the settings (the icon to the right of the search). You can select one of the following list generation modes:

Mode Description
Show all

The work list shows all units and unit groups if you have 20 units or fewer. If you have more, the units and groups are not added automatically. You should generate the work list manually.

If this option is enabled and you have manually removed units from the list, the next time you sign in to the application, all units are shown again (if there are 20 or less).

Synchronize with the web version The list contains the same units and groups as the work list on the Monitoring tab of the IoTplot portal. If this option is enabled, you can’t edit the list manually.
Configure manually You add the units that should be displayed in the work list yourself.

After selecting the mode, click on the icon   for saving the changes.
