Device Lists are the primary way you can organize your machines within Guidewheel, so getting them set up correctly is crucial. This article will walk you through how to set up your device lists to get the most out of them.

Steps to Create a Device List

  1. Go to Settings > Configurations > Device Lists.

  2. Click the + icon.

  3. Enter the list name.


  4. Select List Type

    1. Plant will allow you to set a location and shift schedule. We recommend this type for your most used device lists, usually the whole plant or a whole department.

    2. Device Lists can be used for sub-sets of devices within a plant or department

  5. Select devices and set your Runtime target for the list

  6. Set Tags

    1. This feature limits the tags that are visible when documenting downtime reasons if you have this device list selected

  7. Tab to Schedule


  8. Select shifts for trends calculation

    1. This first section should include any shifts you want to have available when analyzing data for this device list

  9. Set Plant Schedule + Shift Schedule (editable for Plant list types)

    1. This bottom section should be the specific schedule for this plant or department.

    2. NOTE: It is required to set the Shift Schedule in order to see Current Shift progress and automated Late Start alerts

    3. Set Late Start Thresholds to adjust how long after the start of a shift our automated Late Start Alerts will trigger

  10. Set Location

    1. This should be the address of the plant, and is required for our Map View feature

  11. Click Save.

To Assign a List to Users

  1. Go to Settings > Configurations > Users.

  2. Edit the user.
