Training Create Configuration Records
What you'll learn: how to create the common Configuration records an administrator manages — Module Groups & Modules, Units, Calendar Event Groups, External Applications, and Visualizations — and which Configuration items are Fuuz-managed and should not be created. You need: Administrator access type in an application (UI label "Tenant"). Time: 15 minutes.
Most of these pages are reached from the System ▾ → Configuration menu (or header Search) rather than the curated left sidebar. See Training: Find Pages Beyond the Left Menu. Each uses the same pattern: open the page, click +, fill the dialog, save.
Modules organize an application's components; Module Groups bundle Modules (the same grouping you see in Components → Modules / Module Groups).
-
Go to System → Configuration → Module Groups → +. Enter Name, Description, and pick an Icon (the icon picker has a searchable library) → orange +.
-
Go to System → Configuration → Modules → +. Enter Name, Description, and pick the Module Group → orange +.
Units of measure (with a Unit Type and Code) are used throughout quantities and measures.
- Go to System → Configuration → Units → +.
- Pick the Unit Type (Weight, Volume, Time, Length, Currency, Area, Amount), enter a Name and Code → orange +.
Group calendar events under a label and color.
- Go to System → Configuration → Calendar Event Groups → +.
- Enter a Label and optional Color → orange +.
Register an external application that integrates with Fuuz (alongside the Fuuz-provided MFGx Browser Extension and MFGx Mobile Application).
- Go to System → Configuration → External Applications → +.
- Enter a Name and optional Default Configuration → orange +.
A Visualization pairs a chart type with your data for use in dashboards.
- Go to System → Configuration → Visualizations → +.
- Pick a Visualization Type (e.g. Bar, Area, Angular Gauge), enter a Name, and optionally choose a Datasource Saved Transform → orange +.
Some Configuration pages have a create (+) option but are maintained by Fuuz. Do not create records here:
-
Visualization Types — the catalog of chart types (Bar, Area, Gauge, etc.) is provided and maintained by Fuuz. Use them in a Visualization; don't add new types.
-
Device Drivers, Device Driver Types, Device Subscription Types (under Internet of Things) — Fuuz-provided protocol catalogs (the + is disabled).
- Device Gateways — registered by installing the gateway software (Install Gateway), not created in the table.
Each newly created record appears in its table with a success toast. Module Groups list their Module count; Units show Type/Name/Code; Visualizations show their Type.
