Device Graphics

Device Graphics

The Graphics module also has an option to create a New Device Graphic directly within the tool. You can also create Templates that can be applied to a Device in Device Details or on Device Batch Update.


Accessing the Device Graphic

To create a graphic for a device you have two ways:

  • You can simply go directly to the Graphics module from the main left side bar and select “Graphic Tool” and then select “New Device Graphic”.

  • Alternatively, from  the Device Details page you can click “New Graphic View” on the lower right side of the screen


  • Both paths will bring you to the main dialog where the system asks you for the graphic Name 

    • If  you took the first approach, you will also need to select a Device 

    • If you took the second approach, the Device will be assigned automatically since you went there from the Device details.


  • Next you need to choose a graphic file for the device you selected. 

  • You can upload a file from your PC directly by clicking on the “Browse files”.

  • Or you can choose from files previously uploaded to KODE OS by clicking on “Browse from files”

  • Now you can edit the graphic to best reflect your Device, and to simplify monitoring and control directly from the Device Graphic.


Editing and adding points to the Device Graphic



  • Select available Points of the Device from the list on the left-hand  side, and simply drag and drop them in the graphic where they will represent the best actual position either physically or logically.
