Checkpoint

They are control elements within the community network (sensor in a pond, pressure in pipe, pumping, general meter, etc.), which are not found inside a hydrant and can be shared with all users in the community so that they can see their status or information.

By default, the elements (inputs, outputs or sensors) are not displayed directly on the map, but by registering them as checkpoints, they become accessible to the community, allowing them to be monitored and consulted visually.

Each checkpoint corresponds to a single element and allows:

  • Display your exact location on the map.
  • Check your current status, including battery, coverage, and device type.
  • Identify its functionality (e.g.: valve, pump, pressure sensor, level sensor, etc.).
  • Access detailed information by clicking on the point, using the "Go to checkpoint" option, where the values and records associated with the device are displayed.

In this way, checkpoints make it easier for users to view and monitor the operational elements of the system in real time.

Create checkpoint#

Head to the side menu and select the "Checkpoints" option. At the top right of the screen, click the "Create Checkpoint" button. The configuration form will open along with the location map.

    • Associated branch (optional):
      Allows you to link the checkpoint to an existing branch.
      This association subsequently facilitates the grouping and filtering of the elements within the platform.
    • Select Atlas:
      Click on the field to open the list of Atlas devices available in the community.
      The list shows the name of the Atlas, its status (real time or sleeping) and its identifying IMEI.
      Select the Atlas to which the element you want to register as a checkpoint belongs and press "Select".
    • Once the Atlas has been selected, the cards of the elements installed in it will be shown on the screen, differentiating by those that are available to associate as a checkpoint.
    • Click on the card of the element you want to register as a checkpoint.
    • When selected, the map will show its exact location within the irrigation community (it is the location that has previously been selected when registering the element in the Atlas)
    • Type of checkpoint. Defines the type of element that you want to register, according to the functionality or use that you want to associate with it. Selecting the type will determine how the checkpoint is represented on the map and the type of information it will display. The available options are:

      • Hydraulic
      • Agroclimatic

    Finally, click on the "Save" button on the bottom right panel.

    The new checkpoint will be registered and appear in the main checkpoint list , along with its type, associated branch, and location.

    Overview#

    The main view of Checkpoints shows all the elements registered in the community, organized in a table along with an interactive map that allows you to visualize their location in the field.
    From this panel you will be able to consult, associate users and access the details of each element.

    On the left side of the screen is the list of checkpoints, while on the right side is the location map.
    Each row in the table represents a physical element linked to an Atlas.

    In this view, you can view the following data:

    • Name: Identifies the checkpoint
    • Type: classifies the element as Hydraulic or Agroclimatic, depending on the function designated by the user.
    • Display Branch: Displays the name of the associated branch.
    • Display Functionality: indicates the specific function of the element (e.g. pump, valve or pressure sensor).

    At the top of the table are filters that allow you to search by name, type, or branch.

    Each listed element is also represented on the map, where you can identify its exact location and type by its icon.

    Checkpoint actions#

    • Associate grower:
      Each register has an action menu (three vertical dots (⋮) icon) from which you can access the grower's association.
      This option allows you to link one or more growers to the selected checkpoint. The purpose of the association is to give the grower access to the visualization and monitoring of the element, allowing him to consult its status, battery level, coverage and other relevant data from his own account.
      Check the appropriate boxes and press "Save" to confirm the association.
    • Delete checkpoint:
      Each record has an action menu (three vertical dots (⋮) icon) from which you can access the checkpoint deletion.
    • Detail view:
      From the list of checkpoints you can access the detail view of each element by clicking on its name.

    To completely remove an element from the system, it will first be necessary to remove its association as a checkpoint.
    The elimination implies that no user, including the previously associated growers, will be able to view or access the information of said element from the platform. This action cannot be undone.
