This guide is intentionally simple and practical.
After this guide, you should be able to:
- open an instance
- open a project
- browse objects
- read data
- insert one test data point (if you have permission)
- Sign in.
- Select your target instance.
- Open the instance detail.
If you cannot open the instance, ask for at least Basic instance access.
- Open Projects in the instance menu.
- Choose your project.
- Verify you can see the object tree/table.
If you cannot open project content, ask for project access.
- Open objects and expand root/child relationships.
- Open an object detail.
- Confirm the object has data assigned (if needed for your task).
Important:
- Most users work only with objects.
- Object structure design and visibility is for users with Architect permission.
- Open an object with assigned data table.
- Open Data view.
- Filter by time range.
- Verify data is visible.
If data is not visible, ask for Data analyst permission.
- In object data view, choose Add data (or use JSON-RPC if your workflow is API-first).
- Fill required columns (especially primary time and major/minor values as defined).
- Save and verify row appears.
If writing fails, ask for Data source permission.
¶ Step 6: Understand what to ask your admin for
If you are blocked, request by action:
- "I need to view data" -> Data analyst
- "I need to write new data" -> Data source
- "I need to fix/delete wrong data" -> Data manager
- "I need to edit objects" -> Object manager
- "I need to view or design object/data table structures" -> Architect
For repetitive writes and reads, switch to JSON-RPC:
- APIs
