Editing and adding a factory

The "Settings" tab is only accessible to the administrator.

Every time the user inventory is changed (e.g. when a new user is created on the MindSphere site), the app must be synchronized with the MindSphere database. This is done by pressing the "Synchronize users" button.

The administrator can press the "Factory" button to edit existing factories and add new ones.

Machines

Machines or Assets represent parts of a production line. These can be either "Manual Assets" (machines or Assets that are not represented in MindSphere and do not contain data) or MindSphere Assets. They can be active or non-active (i.e. cannot be used in lines).

Search / filter / sort Machines

Existing machines can be searched by term, filtered and sorted (alphabetical and newest).
