Introduction
This article is intended to explain how to organise connectors so that they reflect your real company/factory/line layout. By doing so, they can easily be found when making use of dashboards.
Line Layout Menu
The line layout menu allows you to create a virtual representation of your company and it's various working production environments. Depending on the level within your company's architecture, you can allow users to have scope over multiple working areas, assembly lines, production sites or even entities within the company.
The menu itself is split into two distinct working areas
1: Company Structure - Users can add and modify a virtual representation of their company and it's internal production environments/areas.
2: Parking - Users added connectors are listed and can be then located into levels within the company structure.
