Pause/Activate/Deactivate Calculated Data Point

Tips:Why we need a "Paused" status for data points? The "Paused" status is essential for ensuring data accuracy. It allows us to temporarily halt data collection or processing when corrections are needed for raw data—such as fixing sensor errors or adjusting miscalculations—before resuming normal operations.

  1. Select the calculated data point you want to pause, activate, or deactivate.
  2. Hover over the entry and click "Pause", "Activate", or "Deactivate" in the list.
    Note: This only applies to non-draft data points.
