The dashboard displays a panel for each sensor and their most recent readings:
Clicking anywhere on the panel toggle between a view of the most recent readings and the graph view. The mouse scroll wheel can be used to zoom on the graph.
Clicking and dragging your mouse across the graph will display different time ranges once zoomed in. Clicking on any of the parameters above the graph will show/hide them:
Notifications

The Alerts tab contains any sensor/device alerts for the site, such as device 'Not Reporting' or 'Threshold Triggered'.
By default, all Alerts will be cleared to Events after 7 days, but this can be changed in Site > Settings > Sitewide Alert Cleanup Period.
Alerts can be deleted manually, or moved to Events if action has been taken on them. Press the icon to the right of the alert:
Clicking + Event will bring up the following options to log as changes made to deal with the Alert:
After selecting the event type, you will be prompted to enter the Location and Sensor from drop down menus, as well as any optional notes.
The next prompt will be to enter a time at which the Event was carried out:
The Alert that has been converted to an Event can now be seen at the top of the Events list, with the time at which the action was carried out:
The Events list automatically logs all Connected Seafarm site actions carried out, including adding, removing, and moving of sensors, as well as any Alert that has been auto-deleted.
By clicking the + Add Event button, Events can be added manually, with the same options as when converting from an Alert.
Site

Site > Sensors
The sensors tab enables adding and removing of sensors on a site. It also allows moving sensors to a different position on a site.
Adding a Sensor to a Site
Click on the Add Sensor button.
The following "Create Sensor" form will be presented:
Select the correct type of sensor from the list and enter the DevEUI and App Key. Once complete click Next:
Location and Depth can be entered now or entered at a later date by clicking Skip..
Finally, you will be prompted to review a summary of your sensor. You will have the option to edit your details or location, or simply Save the device as is:
The sensor has now been added to the site and can be seen in the Sensors tab list:
Placing a Sensor
NOTE - a sensor will not communicate with the K-Cell until it is placed in a Location on the Site. If you have not yet created any Locations, please do this first. Instructions can be found in Site > Locations.
A confirmation that the sensor is now placed will appear at the top of the screen, and the Sensors list location will update.
The sensor's information will now syncronise with the site's K-Cell. Depending on the frequency agreed for data backhauls, it may take up to 2 hours for your first sensor reading to be displayed on the Dashboard or Analysis pages.
Moving or deleting a Sensor
To move or delete a sensor, click the icon underneath the Operations column.
Here, you will be able to see a summary of the selected sensor including device details, location, and advanced configuration options. (NOTE - moving or deleting a sensor will clear its historical data from the graph views).Select the icon again next to Location. This can be used to move or change the depth of the sensor.
To simply move the sensor to a new location on the same site, click on the Location dropdown menu and select the desired location name. Save the selected location by pressing Confirm. To delete the sensor, you must unassign its location first. Do this by clicking on the Location dropdown menu and selecting the blank option, like:
Confirm your decision to disconnect the sensor from its location and the cell by pressing Save at the bottom of the Summary page again.
After unassigning the sensor from the location you will be able to remove it from your site. Do this by clicking the icon which will now be selectable. Confirm the removal.
If you would like to move the sensor to a new site/K-Cell, delete the sensor from the site by clicking on the icon and confirming the warning:
The sensor is now deleted from the site, but still available to your organisation. As an Admin, go to Admin > Sensors where you will be able to assign the sensor to another site in your organisation.
Site > Locations
The Connected Seafarm requires Locations to be set up so that sensors can be placed. Once sensors are placed, they will synchronise with the sites K-Cell.
Adding Locations

Once your Locations are created and your Site has a K-Cell, you can begin placing sensors.
Site > K-Cell
Krucial will assign your K-Cells to your organisation. When you create a Site, before you can add sensors you will need to assign one of your K-Cells to it, by selecting from the drop down list and pressing Assign:
Once a K-Cell is assigned, the page will look like this:
The two functions that can be performed here are:
Remove Gateway - this will remove the K-Cell from the site - e.g., if you are moving it to another site (Note - a K-Cell cannot be removed from a site until all the Sensors assigned to the site have been removed from their locations and this has synchronised with the K-Cell (which can be up to 2 hours depending on data frequency agreed).
Replace - If a K-Cell needs to be changed out for some reason but you want to keep everything the same on your site, this is the option to use. It allows swapping to another unassigned K-Cell in your organisation while keeping all the other sites, sensors, locations, alert thresholds the same.
