Gebruikers uitnodigen in het bedrijf
When you add a user to the company, you can determine to what extent this new user can perform actions in the portal. We do this using user rights.
This reduces the security risk and allows you control over what is being done.

Manage projects
You can create a project to collect and display related data. A project does this using assets, dashboards, alerts, diagrams, images,... that are bundled together. These concepts are explained in the following sections.

Users invited at the project level only have access to this project. This prevents a new user from having access to all of your company's projects.

Adding gateways to your company
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.

Manage assets
In the portal, we use the term “assets.” This is a name for the devices (one or more together in an asset) whose data you wish to obtain, for example 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.
