Management – Managing Units
The Units section of the dashboard is used to create new or edit existing Units.
Atomation defines a unit as a combination of sensing capability and cellular communication. This means a unit can be one of two things:
- A grouping of devices (AT-Cs/AT-Rs) connected to a Gateway
- A stand-alone unit that has combined sensors and cellular communication
Alerts are managed in this section of the dashboard. Any admin, user or contact that should receive alerts must be added to each individual Unit in order to receive the text and email alerts.
The Units tab lists all Units by name and additional information as outlined below.

Users can filter and sort using the carets and fields below each column name.
- Name: Unit name created by the user
- Type: Type refers to the type of equipment being monitored and is selected when a Unit is created
- Business Unit: Associated Business Unit for that Unit
- Unit State: Unit state is auto-populated by the platform and refers to whether any device in the unit is Good, Triggered or Unknown. This is also shown on the main dashboard
- Location: GPS location, if known, is displayed here. This GPS location shows two digits past the decimal point and is a less precise location than the full GPS coordinates provided on the Unit screen. When mapping or locating Atoms, use the full GPS coordinates provided on the detailed Device or Unit screens for the best accuracy
- Last Update: the date the Unit was last updated
