Overview

Virtual product is not physical in nature but can be used to represent the physical product using unique virtual ID. Virtual product can be useful to transfer configuration and endpoints details from old product to newly replaced product in case that product is getting replaced frequently due to any reason (stolen, lost, etc.).

While adding any new product, virtual product is being created for that particular product or user can create new virtual product and can assign it to product but one product can be associated with only one virtual product at a time.

In case of any product failure, if new product of the same product line or configuration is being added then user can associate the old product’s virtual ID with this new replace product so that it will transfer the entire configuration and endpoints to this replaced product along with its data history.

Reporting group section has an option to group the virtual products in to one reporting group to view the data of all the added virtual products from that particular reporting group.

Authorized user can be able to select “Virtual Products” tab of any reporting group and can add the virtual products from the available list or can remove any virtual product from the already added list for that particular reporting group.

For any particular reporting group, authorized user can make a group of virtual products from the available virtual products list. It is used to map virtual products and users in one particular reporting group so that users can view data available from the same reporting group.
