The current status of the asset is displayed in the Asset menu in the Status [E] column.

Explanation

The status indicates whether an asset has received data within a pre-defined time period.

Active	The asset has received data within the specified time period
Inactive	The asset has not received data within the specified time period.
Unmonitored	The function is deactivated for the asset

Filter Assets by Status

You can filter assets by status in the Asset menu using the switches [B], [C], and [D].

Configure Function

Note the information in ↗ Minimum Time Interval

For Individual Assets

You can configure this function for each individual asset in the -> Asset Details

In Asset Templates

When creating -> Asset Templates, you can set a default value for this option.

All assets created from this asset template will then adopt the default value of the template.

Minimum Time Interval

The minimum time interval in which an asset's status is updated in column [E] is 5 minutes. If you have set a shorter value in the Asset Details or the Asset Template, the asset will indeed be switched to Inactive after this time. However, this will not be visible in column [E]: The displayed value in this column is updated every 5 minutes.
