Inviting users into the company
When you add a user to your company, you can specify which operations this user is allowed to perform. We do this using user permissions. Giving rights to users reduces the security risk and keeps you in control.
More information regarding inviting a user can be found in the manual: "Invite a user to a company.".

Managing projects
With the help of a project, you can collect and display data that interact with each other. This is done using assets, dashboards, diagrams, images,... . These concepts are explained in the following sections.
You can invite users at the project level. This gives them access to data only on the particular project, and not all projects belonging to your company.
More information regarding projects can be found in the manuals:
"How do I create a new project?" and "Invite a user to a project?".

Managing gateways
A gateway is a device that collects data from one or more sensors, then sends it to the portal.
Based on this data, you can create dashboards in which the data is structured and neatly presented for monitoring purposes.
More information regarding projects can be found in the manuals:
"How do I register a new gateway in my company?" and "How can I configure a gateway?".

.
Managing assets
In the portal, we use the term "asset." This is a name for the devices from which you wish to obtain data, e.g CO₂ -meters, pumps or generators.
Assets receive their data from gateways, which aggregate the measurements from these devices and send it to the portal.
In each asset, there is a tab called datasources. In a datasource, you select the device that will provide data to this asset. An asset can contain multiple datasources.
More information regarding projects can be found in the manual: "Understanding the assets page".
