Aurora dashboard usage

Aurora is the web dashboard for viewing DataStone values by company, line, and machine.

Use this guide after you have created your Aurora account and accepted a company invitation from your tenant administrator.

What you need

You need an account and a company invitation before you can view a dashboard:

ItemNotes
Aurora URLUse the address provided by Reshenie. For local development, use http://localhost:5173.
AccountRegister your own Aurora account with your name, email, and password.
InvitationA tenant administrator invites your registered email from company settings.
Company accessOpen the invitation email, sign in, and accept the invitation.
Machine setupLines, machines, DataStones, devices, and data streams must already be configured before values can appear.

If any of these are missing, contact your tenant administrator or Reshenie support.

Register and accept an invitation

Aurora users register individually. A tenant administrator then invites the registered user into a company.

Create your account

  1. Open the Aurora URL in a browser.
  2. Open the registration page.
  3. Enter your name, email, password, and password confirmation.
  4. Select Create account.
  5. Return to the sign-in page and sign in.

Accept the company invitation

  1. Ask your tenant administrator to invite the email address you registered.
  2. Open the company invitation email.
  3. Open the invitation link.
  4. Sign in if Aurora asks you to.
  5. Review the company name and invited email.
  6. Select Accept Invitation.

After accepting the invitation, open Companies or return to the dashboard. Your company should now appear in the left sidebar.

note

For tenant administrators

The Invite user action in company settings sends an invitation to an existing registered user. If the user has not registered yet, Aurora shows User not found. They must already exist.

Open Aurora after setup

  1. Open the Aurora URL in a browser.
  2. Select Sign in.
  3. Sign in with your registered account.
  4. If you can access more than one company, select the company you want to view.

After sign-in, the left sidebar shows the companies, lines, and machines available to your account.

note

Access

If your company does not appear, confirm that you accepted the invitation. If it still does not appear, ask a tenant administrator to confirm that your account has Tenant (Read) access.

Aurora organizes data in this order:

LineA production line or logical group.
MachineThe equipment dashboard you want to view.
DataStoneThe edge PC connected to the machine or site network.
DeviceA PLC, camera, HMI, or other source connected through DataStone.

To open a dashboard:

  1. Select your company in the left sidebar.
  2. Select a line.

View metrics

The dashboard shows widgets for the selected machine. A widget can show one value, a chart, a gauge, a control, a camera view, or a section title.

Common widget types:

Circular GaugeGauge-style numeric display.
BarBar-style numeric display.
Linear GaugeHorizontal gauge display.
ControlButton or switch for a configured control value.
Camera viewVideo or screen stream from a camera, VNC, or V4L2 device.

If a widget shows no data, check the selected mode, time range, and DataStone status first.

For tenant administrators

Tenant administrators can assign access from the company settings page.

Aurora uses the same labels shown in company settings:

Placeholder: Aurora company settings user invitation and access labels
Screenshot placeholder: Invite users and review access labels in company settings.
Access labelAllows users to
Tenant (Read)See the company.
Tenant (Write)Manage company-level settings, users, and API keys.
Lines (Read)See production lines.
Lines (Write)Create, rename, and delete lines.
Machines (Read)See machines, machine images, and machine exports.
Machines (Write)Create, edit, move, and delete machines.
DataStones (Read)See DataStones and their status.
DataStones (Write)Create, edit, attach, detach, and delete DataStones.
Devices (Read)Read device lists from DataStone.
Metrics (Read)View dashboard widgets, values, statistics, and CSV exports.
Metrics (Write)Create and edit dashboard widgets and layouts.
DataStone Control (Write)Use real-time connections and configured controls.
DataStone Shell (Write)Open a remote shell for supported DataStones.
Files (Read)View company files.
Files (Write)Upload, update, and remove company files.

Give users the smallest access needed for their work. Write access includes Read access for the same area.

When a tenant administrator invites a user, Aurora first sends default read access. Add more access only after the user accepts the invitation and their work requires it.

A line or machine is missingAsk an administrator to check Lines (Read) and Machines (Read) access.
Edit buttons are missingAsk an administrator to check the matching Write access.
DataStone shows no devicesConfirm the DataStone is online, then ask an administrator to check DataStones (Read) and Devices (Read) access.
A widget shows no valueCheck the selected mode, time range, DataStone status, and whether the data stream is collecting values.
Real-time mode does not connectConfirm the DataStone is online and configured for real-time access. Ask an administrator to check DataStone Control (Write) access.
Export is emptyConfirm the time range contains data, or that real-time recording received values before export.

If the issue continues after these checks, contact Reshenie support with the company name, line, machine, DataStone name, and the time the issue occurred.
