Create a Dashboard Using the Altair IoT Studio Connector

This connector enables you to retrieve the data stored in AnythingDB.

Important: To visualize data stored at the Properties-History section in AnythingDB, or the data stored in a Category, you will first need to create an App.

    Note: The Application Client ID and Secret ID is required in configuring the New Workbook in Real time Visualization module. Be sure to capture and save this information.
    Note: The App should have Thing as Scope and the type set as Client Credentials.
  2. Click Real Time Visualization > Workbooks.
  3. Select a folder to work in. By default a root folder with your username has been created. Right click to see the different operations you can perform.
