# Sensor details

Clicking a sensor on the **Dashboard** or **Location Map** opens the **Sensor Details** view. This section is available to **all users**, regardless of permission level (Administrator, Manager, Analyst). It provides access to:

* Alarm history with timestamps
* Measurement data in both chart and table formats
* Downloadable calibration certificate (if available)
* Exporting measurements as PDF (chart or table) or CSV
* Viewing basic device information such as:
  * Sensor name and serial number
  * Assigned location
  * Last and next measurement timestamps
  * Measurement interval

In the top-right corner of the Sensor Details page, three function buttons may appear:

* **Calibration certificate** – Download the sensor’s calibration certificate. Displayed only for sensors that have one.
* **Generate report** – Create a custom report for any chosen timeframe in PDF (chart/table) or CSV format. Reports are delivered to your email within minutes.
* **Edit sensor** – Available **only to Administrators and Managers**. Analysts can view sensor details, but cannot make changes.

## **Sensor Data Tabs**

Sensor data is organised into five tabs for easy navigation:

### **Live Metrics**

Shows measurements from the previous day, separated by channel. Charts provide a quick overview of the most recent data.

### **History**

Displays historical measurement charts with channel selection checkboxes.

* Use the date picker to specify the time range.
* Zoom in by selecting a region on the chart.
* Use the **Zoom Out** (four-arrow) button to reset the view.
* If alarm rules are configured, threshold lines appear on the chart (red = upper limit, blue = lower limit), each labelled with its rule name.

### **Measurements**

Shows all readings in a table.

* Minimum, maximum, and average values for the selected timeframe appear at the top.
* Adjust the time range using the date picker.

### **Alarms**

Lists all alarms triggered by the sensor with timestamps and rule names.

* Users can **acknowledge alarms** once values return to normal.
* View alarms in **Table view** or **Calendar view**. (For more details, refer to the [*Alarms*](/efento-cloud/basics/alarms.md) chapter.)

### **Rules**

Displays the alarm rules applied to this sensor. To learn how to add or remove a sensor from a rule, refer to the [*Alarm Rules*](/efento-cloud/advanced/markdown.md) section.

## **Edit Sensor menu**

The **Edit sensor** menu (available for Administrators and Managers only) provides tools for managing the selected device. The details of each of the actions are described in [*Sensor configuration*](/efento-cloud/advanced/editing-sensor-configuration.md) section.&#x20;

Available actions include:

* [**Change location**](/efento-cloud/advanced/editing-sensor-configuration.md#location) – Move the sensor to a different location in the organisation structure.
* [**Rename**](/efento-cloud/advanced/editing-sensor-configuration.md#name) – Update the sensor’s display name.
* [**Formula settings**](/efento-cloud/advanced/editing-sensor-configuration.md#formula-settings) – Configure or edit formulas and custom measurement types (see [*Formulas*](broken://pages/x9zVgllFe45R0BzJ4W76) chapter).
* [**Swap device**](/efento-cloud/advanced/editing-sensor-configuration.md#swapping-a-sensor) – Swap the sensor for a new one while keeping its historical measurements.
* [**Calibration reminder**](/efento-cloud/advanced/editing-sensor-configuration.md#calibration-reminder) – Set or modify reminders for future calibration dates.
* [**Remote sensor configuration**](/efento-cloud/advanced/editing-sensor-configuration.md#remote-configuration-of-nb-iot-sensors) – Available for NB-IoT sensors only; allows changing technical parameters directly from the platform.
* [**Enable / disable sensor**](/efento-cloud/advanced/editing-sensor-configuration.md#disabling-enabling-sensors) – Temporarily deactivate or reactivate the sensor on the platform.
* [**Archive / delete sensor**](/efento-cloud/advanced/editing-sensor-configuration.md#archiving-deleting-measurements) – Archive the device to stop monitoring while preserving data, or permanently delete it from Efento Cloud.
