            Data Entry Node

            The Data Entry node allows you to enter any alphanumeric value and have it appear on the live dashboard or within a JSON payload.

            Adding a Data Entry node to your workflow

            1. First, select your desired solution and navigate to Rayven Workflow.
            2. Select ‘Controls’ from the left-hand panel.
            3. Find the Data Entry node and drag it onto the canvas.
            4. Input and Output connections to this node are optional, as it will output values by itself. 
            5. Double click on the Multi-Choice node to open its configuration window.



            Configuring your Data Entry node

            1. First, give your node a Name. Choose something simple that clearly explains its purpose.
            2. Under Data Field Name, enter the field in the JSON payload that you want to contain the values entered to the node from the live dashboard. 
            3. If you want, you can add a Widget Subtitle. This additional text helps explain the data presented in the node. Anything added here will appear directly under the Widget Name in a smaller font.
            4. Select the Device/Device Label Name checkbox if you want the device or label name to be visible from the widget.
            5. If applicable, enter Prefix or Suffix Symbols to append to the beginning or end of values.
            6. You can select a color for each field by entering a hex or RGB code under Button Color.


            Grouping by Device Label

            Select how data should be grouped and displayed on the widget. To group data by device label, you must first create at least one label in the Device Labels section of the Workspace. See Creating Device Labels and Configuring Nodes Using Labels for more information.

            1. Enter your chosen label under Device Label Name. 
            2. Select a method for grouping the widget on the dashboard from the drop-down options:
              • No Grouping (widget per device): one widget will appear for each device.
              • Group by device label value (widget per label value): one widget will appear for each unique value label. For example, if the device label is ‘Color’ and the label values are ‘Green’ and ‘Gold’, the dashboard will display two widgets. One will show data for devices labeled ‘Green’, and the other for devices labeled ‘Gold’.
              • Group by device label name (one widget): only one widget will be displayed. It will contain data from all devices with the selected device label.
