Getting Started with Groups
What are Groups?
Groups enhance monitoring by organizing data visibility, filtering dashboard views, and managing notifications. For instance, users assigned to specific groups can only see the sensors related to that group.
Groups are used throughout Stat Temp, including:
- Dashboards and Data Grids: Filtering data by groups for focused views.
- Notifications: Assigning notifications to entire groups.
- Reports: Generating reports for specific groups.
- Sensor management: Assigning sensors to groups to control visibility and permissions.
How to Create Groups
- Click the gear shift icon at the top right of the Stat Temp website. Then click Groups.
- Click Create Group.
- Enter a Group name
- Select the Users that will be part of the Group
- Select the Contacts that will be part of the Group
- Select the Sensors that will be part of the Group
- Once the Group has been properly configured, click Save on the bottom right.
Who can "View All"?
Users with the "View All" permission can access all sensors, monitors, events, and groups, overriding standard group-based restrictions. This permission is assigned to the Administrator role by default.
To restrict views by Groups, it is recommended that users are assigned the Power User, User, or View Only roles; or you can create custom roles.
Any users not assigned to a Group will be able to see all sensors, however, they will not be able to filter by the available Groups.
Users in Groups will not be able to see unassigned sensors or sensors outside of their group.
How to filter by Groups
If part of multiple groups, you can filter by the groups you belong to. If you are an administrator or have the "View All" permission, you will see information from all groups.
To filter by Group:
- Click the funnel icon on the dashboard or data grid. This is located to the right of the search bar on the website. (image below)
- Select the group(s) by which you want to filter.
Places you can filter Groups:
- Dashboard
- Events
- Sensors
- Monitors
- Reports
