A System is a collection of heterogeneous assets maintained in the Axeda® Platform. You can organize assets into systems to aid in navigating to assets within the Axeda® Connected Product Management Applications or to help you track and view assets.
You can create and configure systems within the Axeda® Configuration Application. Also, assets running Axeda® Agents can register their system association with the Platform , if they are configured to do so.
As opposed to an Asset Group, the assets associated with a system are not bound by model. If you want to configure rules for groups of assets, configure those assets within an asset group and set the rule on that group.
For information about security for the System object, refer to Security for Objects in Axeda® Connected Product Management Applications and for information about security for these objects when Delegated Administration is enabled, refer to Security for Objects in Delegated Administration Units.
In a Platform with Delegated Administration enabled, the names of systems may be displayed with prefixes. For details, refer to Names of Objects in DA Units.
