Enter a new password twice, to change it. The strength has to be 50% at least, as indicated by the gauge.
The minimum length is six. Passwords that have a mixed case, are longer, or contain a special character will be rated stronger. Trivial text will be rated weak.
Set your preferred page size, orientation, and margin here. The default is an A4 portrait with a 10 mm margin. These settings will be remembered per device.
Using this table, you can subscribe to notifications on a per-project basis. There is a choice for receiving outage alerts or not. Message subjects will be prefixed with [alert] or [outage], to facilitate classification rules.
Vision 42 aims to send you as few messages as possible:
Alert statuses of individual sensors will be aggregated per instrument.
Only a change in status will trigger an alert message.
Status changes will be bundled into messages per project.
The body of an alert message includes:
Values and thresholds, for alerts.
Time lag, for outages.
A handy link to plot all mentioned instruments with a single click or tap.
Subject: [alert] Example project
BH-11: green -> red (level = -1.96 > -2 m)
BH-42: green -> yellow + outage (level = -1.8 > -2 m & 63 min lag)
BH-50: yellow -> green

Email will be sent by blind carbon copy (bcc), out of privacy considerations. Only an explicit opt-in mechanism has been made available. Subscribing someone other than yourself, is not easy on purpose.
Information in your Vision 42 database can be integrated with any application that supports the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Keyhole Markup Language (KML) standard:
Google Earth Pro on desktop (recommended)
Google Earth on mobile
Google Earth on web
Cesium-based applications
...
It suffices to download and open a special KML file once. Note the file is compressed, as indicated by the .kmz extension. Do not share this file, as it has access to Vision 42 in your name. In case of unauthorized access, just change your password.
The KML integration will display and synchronize this sensor information automatically:
Instrument location, type, and name
Sensor names, last values, and units
Alert color
Outage indication
Click or tap to view the data plot.
The field-of-view of the camera will be taken into account. You can filter further on one or more instrument types.
Note the application's altitude datum may differ slightly from the local datum. The latter is typically country-specific and dependent on a mean sea level. Vision 42 facilitates this:
Instruments without an elevation will be clamped to the ground.
Instruments with both an elevation and a surface will be set relative to the actual ground.
Otherwise, the absolute elevation will be used. You can make use of the application's altitude datum, if needed.
For performance and clutter reasons, only 100 instruments will be shown at a time. Zooming in will reveal more instruments per area, of course.
Tip: You can open KML files from multiple Vision 42 instances simultaneously.
