Resource Readings
Track measurements, readings, and data from resources for monitoring, analytics, and performance optimization.
Before You Start
Resource readings allow you to track various measurements and data points from your resources. Understanding how to configure and manage readings will help you monitor resource performance and make data-driven decisions.
Understanding Resource Readings
Purpose
- Track measurements, readings, and data from resources
- Monitor resource performance and maintenance needs
- Generate reports and analytics for decision making
- Identify trends and patterns in resource behavior
Reading Structure
Resource Reading:
- Main category (e.g., "Temperature Readings")
- Organizational grouping of related measurements
- Logical categorization for easy management
Reading Types:
- Specific measurement types within the category
- Individual data points that are tracked
- Configurable parameters for each reading type
Reading Values:
- Actual measurement data recorded over time
- Historical tracking of resource performance
- Data points for analysis and reporting
Managing Resource Readings
Reading Categories
Create Categories:
- Define main reading categories for organizing measurements
- Logical grouping: Group related measurements together
- Naming conventions: Use clear, descriptive category names
Reading Types:
- Add specific measurement types within each category
- Configure parameters: Set up units, ranges, and validation rules
- Define descriptions: Provide context for each reading type
Descriptions:
- Provide context for each reading type
- Usage guidelines: Explain when and how to use each reading
- Documentation: Help users understand the purpose of each measurement
Next Steps
After setting up resource readings, you can:
- Configure reading categories and types for your resources
- Set up automated reading schedules for regular monitoring
- Create custom reports and dashboards for data analysis
- Integrate with other modules to connect readings with inspections and tasks
