How do I edit device locations in grid view?

Device locations can be viewed in grid view under "Device location" -> "Device location". This will display all device locations on the site you are currently viewing. You can change any of the fields with a white background. Some fields may be white on some and grey on others based on the availability of features of the device.

The first column (with no heading) indicates the status of the device location. A tick indicates the device location is working correctly. A green arrow indicates that the device location is adopting which means a row has been created for a device and is expecting a device to be created and assigned to the location. You will usually only see the adopting status for wireless devices.

There are a few self-explanatory columns in this view such as:

• ID: The identifier for the device location
• Tenancy: The tenancy that the device location is assigned to
• Control system: The label of the control system that the device location is connected to
• Floor: The floor that the device location is assigned to
• Product name: The product name determined by the GTIN of the device
• Location: A user-defined label for the device location
• ECG: The number of ECGs attached to the device location
• ECD: The number of ECDs attached to the device location
• Hardware: The hardware version that is read from the device
• Firmware: The current firmware version of the device (see the device bootloading FAQ for more information)
• Tag: The current firmware version tag of the device (see the device bootloading FAQ for more information)

The next notable column is the parent ID column. This is used to show bridge devices (indicated by a little icon next to a populated parent ID cell) and what devices are behind a bridge which will have parent ID without an icon that points to another device location ID. For more information on parent IDs, see the parent ID FAQ.

The bus unit config column configure how the product (bus units) is configured as a whole. This can potentially add, remove, change or reset ECGs/ECDs for the device location so care must be taken when changing this setting. For more information, see the bus unit configuration FAQ.

The fitting type is used to give an icon, label and description for all fittings of the same type which will change what the icon is for the device location on plan view as well as giving more context to the type of fitting for the device location. For more information, see the fitting type FAQ.

Sys fail mode and sys fail data are used together to configure the behaviour for wireless control systems when there is a fault on the bus. The control system attempts to restart a failure timer on the devices and if it fails for a certain period, it triggers a system failure for the device. The mode sets what the device does in this system failure mode and can be used with the data depending on the mode. For more information, see the system failure configuration FAQ.

The issues column will show the current issues affecting device location. There are many different possible issues that can affect a location, each with varying levels of severity. Regardless of the severity, any issues in this column should not be ignored. For all possible issues with possible solutions to each, see the issues FAQ.

There are 3 commission state columns which are used to track each stage of the commissioning process for each category. These are updated automatically through the commissioning mobile application but can also be manually updated in grid view, though this is not recommended unless you are sure about what you are doing. For more information, see the commission state FAQ.

The plan reference column indicate the X coordinate, Y coordinate and map label that the device location is placed at in plan view. You can right-click the device location and click "Go to plan view" to get to the device location in plan view quickly. Most of the time these will be set from using the plan view UI. Manually changing these values will affect where it is placed in plan view and is not recommended unless you know what you are doing. For more information on these columns, see the plan view FAQ.

The last two columns are external links. The first one links to the thread page in grid view if the device location has a thread. The second link is to the device location in plan view, which is the same as clicking the "Go to plan view" button in the right click menu. The plan view link is only there if it has plan reference values for the device location.
