To add paid plans to users, the "Enable plans" option has to be checked.
On the right corner of the "Plans" tab, select the "+" to create a new plan.

A new window will come up, prompting to fill out the title of the plan, price, object limit and duration. In the "Permissions" tab you can select which features the user is able to user for specific plans. The currency is used based on the settings in the "Billing gateway" tab.

Billing gateway

In this tab you can setup payment gateways if there are paid plans created and enabled.
Each payment gateway will require a set of keys and other information filled out in order for it to function. Please refer to the documentation provided by the gateway or contact their support for assistance in acquiring the required information.

From this tab, you are able to enable/disabled, change the port number for the protocol and add additional parameters if required. All of the parameters can be found here.

Tools

From the "Tools" tab, there are controls for database backups and clean up.

Database backups

Type:

Automatic - these are done automatically by the system to our external servers if the daily backups plan is active.
Custom - allows to upload database backups to your own external server.

Period: How often the system should send backups to an external server
Hour: During which hour the database backups should be scheduled. The time is taken from the currentl servers time.

Device history database cleanup

The following options allow you to control how often the database should be cleaned. This is used to avoid overflooding the database, which will cause issues to the softwares availability.

In order for the system to automatically clean up the database, the "Automatic history data cleanup" should be enabled.
The system allows 2 methods of cleanup:
Server time - this option cleans up the database every 30 days for every device since the first start of the software.
Last connection - this option cleans up the database every 30 days since the devices first connection.
Current database size - how much the database is taking up hard drive space.

Plugins

From this tab you can enable certain tools and features which are not enabled by default.
All of the plugins and explanations can be found here.

Sensor groups

With this tool, you are able to create a sensor group from which multiple sensors can be applied to a device at the same time. It helps to avoid the manual process of creating the same sensors for each device individually.
To create a sensor group, select the "+" icon on the right corner. Once the menu shows up, grant the sensor group a title and hit save. The sensor group will show up in the list. To add sensors to the group, under actions on the right, select the gear icon and hit edit.

You can add as many sensors as needed. Once the sensors are created, navigate to the object's sensor tab and on the bottom of the menu, select the sensor group you've created from the "Sensor groups" drop down list.
