Overview
The Equipment Tree will show at all times when accessing the DataXchange tab. When disconnected from a DX Service the Equipment Tree will display all plants, equipment groups, and associated equipment regardless of the DX Service. The red and green state badges on the icons next to each of the equipment will not be displayed when disconnected from a DX Service.
When connected to a DX Service only the equipment associated with the DX Service will be displayed with the badge icons. All other equipment not associated with the connected DX Service will not appear. In the example below, our equipment in Houston, which is visible in the screen shot above, is assigned to a different service so it no longer appears in the tree.
Badge Types
There are three different badge types when connected to a service.
