Asset status: active / inactive / unmonitored assets

Overview

Assets can have 3 statuses:

• Active

• Inactive

• Not monitored

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

Explanation

The status indicates whether an asset has received data within a predefined time period.

Active	The asset has received data within the specified time period
Inactive	The asset has not received any data within the specified time period.
Not monitored	The function is disabled for the asset

Filter assets by status

Using the switches [B], [C] and [D] you can filter the assets by status in the asset menu

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

For asset templates

When creating -> Asset templates you can define a default value for this option.

All assets created on the basis of this asset template will then adopt the template's default value.

Minimum time interval

The minimum time interval in which the status of an asset in column [E] is updated 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 the column [E] : the displayed value in this column is updated every 5 minutes.
