      How to change a sensor location with the new Administrative role

      This article describes what extra modifications users have with the new Administrative role.

      Introduction

      Except for changing the name of a compartment or section, 'Normal' users have limited possibilities to make modifications in the structure of the Growboard. 

      As an 'Administrative user', people can now make more changes in the structure. These changes include:

      Each change will be explained in more detail. 

      Modify the location of the sensor

      Especially when you are using the Heatmap functionality, it is important that the location of the sensor is correct. It is now possible to easily change the GPS coordinates of a sensor. Just follow these 3 steps

      Step 1: Select Device Detail

      Open the Growboard, zoom down to sensor level, and select Device Detail.

      Step 2: Open the map

      In the menu click on 'Select location on map'. This will open a map. 

      Step 3: Move the sensor

      Move the sensor to the new location and click on 'Save'. When you are back at the Device Detail window, click on 'Save' again. 

      That's it!

      Move sections to a different compartment

      When you want to move a section (or valve/zone) to a different compartment (or greenhouse/room), follow these 2 steps. 

      Step 1: Go to 'Edit' Section

      Open the dashboard, zoom down to the section, and click on 'Edit Section'. 

      Step 2: Move the section

      Go to the 'Move' section, click on the name, and select the new compartment where the section should be moved to.

      Move sensor locations to a different section

      When you want to move a sensor placement to a different section (or valve/room), follow these two steps. Please note that, for now, you 'move' all historical data for this placement as well. 

      Step 1: Go to 'Edit Placement'

      Open the dashboard, zoom down to the placement (sensor location), and click on 'Edit Placement')

      Step 2: Move the placement

      Go to the 'Move' section, click on the name, and select the section where the placement should be moved to.
