Overview

Locations​

Datalogic Connect provides a powerful Locations feature that enables you to organize and manage your devices and users efficiently across multiple facilities, sites, or regions. Locations help you structure your device management strategy by grouping devices and users based on their physical or logical locations.

With Locations, you can:

  • Create multiple locations to organize devices by geographical area, project, or business unit
  • Control user access by assigning users to specific locations with granular permissions
  • Manage resources efficiently by monitoring devices and applications within each location

Locations provide a centralized and scalable approach to managing your device fleets, making collaboration easier and operations more streamlined.

Users​

Datalogic Connect allows you to create and manage users with role-based access control. By assigning appropriate roles, you can manage permissions and control what actions users can perform within the platform.

Available Roles​

Datalogic Connect provides the following user roles:

  • Owner: Has full administrative privileges across all locations. Can manage devices, users, and system settings.
  • Administrator: Has administrative privileges within a specific location. Can manage devices, and users within that location and their sub-locations.
  • Operator: Has limited access and can monitor, manage, and launch actions on devices within a location and their sub-locations.
  • Viewer: Has read-only access and can view data, insights, and device information within a location and their sub-locations.

By assigning appropriate roles to users, you ensure they have the necessary permissions to perform their tasks while maintaining security and control within your Datalogic Connect environment.

Devices​

Datalogic Connect provides comprehensive device management capabilities to help you monitor, configure, and control your devices effectively.

Device Management Features​

With Datalogic Connect, you can:

  • Register and configure devices with custom settings and parameters
  • Monitor device status and health in real-time
  • Send commands and updates to devices individually or to multiple devices at once
  • Manage firmware updates to keep devices running the latest software

By effectively managing your devices, you ensure they operate optimally and deliver the expected results.

Device Groups​

Device Groups are a powerful organizational feature in Datalogic Connect that allows you to efficiently manage multiple devices as a single entity. By grouping devices with common characteristics, you can streamline operations and reduce management overhead.

Benefits of Device Groups​

Device Groups enable you to:

  • Organize devices logically based on location, type, functionality, or business unit
  • Launch bulk actions efficiently by targeting groups instead of individual devices
  • Apply configuration changes to multiple devices simultaneously
  • Send firmware updates to all devices in a group at once
  • Execute commands across a device group for coordinated operations

Using Device Groups for Actions​

Device Groups are essential for launching actions in Datalogic Connect. Rather than managing devices individually, you can:

  1. Group related devices that require the same operations
  2. Launch actions at the group level to perform tasks like firmware updates, configuration changes, or command execution
  3. Monitor action progress across all devices in the group
  4. Track results and identify which devices succeeded or failed

This group-based approach significantly reduces the time and effort required to manage large device fleets, making it easier to maintain consistency and ensure all devices operate according to your requirements.

Actions​

Actions are automated tasks in Datalogic Connect that allow you to execute operations on your devices using device groups. Whether you need to update firmware, apply configurations, or send commands, Actions provide a robust framework for managing these operations at scale.

Action Management Features​

Datalogic Connect provides comprehensive action management capabilities:

  • Launch actions on device groups
  • Monitor progress in real-time as actions execute across your devices
  • Track results and generate reports on action completion status

Action Types​

Common actions include:

  • Command Execution: Send specific commands to devices for immediate execution
  • Firmware Updates: Deploy new firmware versions to devices
  • Configuration Changes: Apply new settings and parameters to devices

By managing actions effectively, you can automate routine tasks, ensure device consistency, and improve operational efficiency across your entire device fleet.
