Landing Page

The Manage landing page serves as a starting point for accessing Dendra’s management tooling. It offers a list of some common tasks performed by field technicians and managers:

• Manage Stations
• Equipment Library
• Integrations
• Configure Datastreams
• A link to these docs

Sites, Stations, and Datastreams

These pages are where field technicians and managers can view, create, and configure existing sites, stations, and datastreams.

See Set Up a Station for instructions on how to create and configure a new station.

See Configure Datastreams for instructions on how to create and configure datastreams.

Equipment Library

As previously noted, Dendra has an equipment library available to all Dendra users (see Features - Equipment Library).

The Management Equipment Library allows editing and configuring entries of publicly available metadata.

Editing is restricted to equipment owned by its corresponding organization. Users cannot edit equipment metadata unless they belong to that organization and have the proper access level control (see Features - Roles and Access Contro).
