Sentinel’s data (monitored data, data limits, precondition data, auxiliary data, additional data on the timeline, etc.) is all accessed via Explorer. Sentinel allows you to browse Explorer, to access tags or attributes that can be used as is or within calculations. You can also select whole groups of data by selecting hierarchies (whole hierarchies, or hierarchies from a starting point), and you can optionally specify which templates to use, when using attributes.
Entity Name vs Display Name
In Explorer, entities are given a unique name, as well as a more descriptive display name. In Sentinel, the Display Name is shown in the Server Browser and is also displayed as the Asset in the event reports. The Name is used in the entity description.
Consider the examples shown below, where the entity with Name Kookaburra and Display Name: Kookaburra Oil was used.
The Asset shows the Display Name.
The Entity uses the Name.
The Display Name is used for the Asset in the Asset Report
The Name is used as part of the attribute name
In the Server Browser, the Display Name appears in the hierarchy.
