For more information on tags, or if you haven't yet configured your device(s) with tags, see Configure access levels.

Step 3: Choose data streams

Step 4: Customize your view with modules

Once you've created your view, your next step is to populate it with modules to represent the data streams you care about.

To modify an existing view by navigating to that view and clicking the pencil icon in the upper-right corner. This will open the sidebar where you can rename the view.

You can add a new module by clicking View Settings >> Edit Layout >> Add Module.
