Step 3: Create a wind farm project

In this procedure, you create a project in your portal. Projects are resources that define a set of permissions, assets, and dashboards, which you can configure to visualize asset data in that project. With projects, you define who has access to which subsets of your operation and how those subsets' data is visualized. You can assign portal users as owners or viewers of each project. Project owners can create dashboards to visualize data and share the project with other users. Project viewers can view dashboards but not edit them. For more information about roles in SiteWise Monitor, see SiteWise Monitor roles.

To create a wind farm project

  1. In the left navigation pane in your portal, choose the Assets tab. On the Assets page, you can explore all assets available in the portal and add assets to projects.

  2. In the asset browser, choose Demo Wind Farm Asset. When you choose an asset, you can explore that asset's live and historical data. You can also press Shift to select multiple assets and compare their data side-by-side.

  3. Choose Add asset to project in the upper left. Projects contain dashboards that your portal users can view to explore your data. Each project has access to a subset of your assets in Amazon IoT SiteWise. When you add an asset to a project, all users with access to that project can also access data for that asset and its children.
