The Connections feature in Autodesk Tandem enables users to receive and view IoT data in their digital twin, providing valuable insights into building performance. Follow these steps to create and manage Connections:

1. Open the Connections Panel: Navigate to your facility and open the Connections panel from the left-side menu.

2. Configure and Manage Connections:

Within the Connections menu, you can:

• Configure connections
• Create or update existing connections using the import/export function.
• View or reset webhook integration details for your facility.

3. Create a Connection: Click + Create to start creating a new connection. Choose from two methods:

• Create a single connection manually.
• Batch-create multiple connections for efficiency.

4. Classify and Define Relationships Once a Connection is created, assign a classification to define the parameters associate to the connection. With the Connection selected, assign it to a host, room, or system, or it can be updated later in the Properties panel.

5. To view Connections, open the Inventory panel by selecting the appropriate Classifications in the Filters panel. Non-editable properties in the Inventory Panel are grayed out.

Once connections and data streams are configured and properly mapped, you can view the IoT data in multiple ways.

1. Check Connection Status in the Connections tab, to view real-time statuses.

NOTE: By default, an offline status appears if no data is received for 15+ minutes, but this can be configured per connection classification. To learn more about configure offline status, review the Configure Connections workflow.

2. View Data in a Grid or Graphical Format

• Toggle between a spreadsheet view and a Chart format for detailed facility insights.
• Out-of-range data is color-coded for easy identification.
• *Pro-Tips!**: Customize Threshold ranges to utilize color coding by visiting our Thresholds page

3. Utilize Heatmapping by selecting a parameter to apply heat mapping. The viewer will update with color-coded data, which you can adjust to your preference.

4. Analyze Data Over Time by rolling your cursor over the graph to see time-specific details and scroll in or out to view more granular data and insights.

By following these steps, you can efficiently manage IoT connections and visualize building performance data in Autodesk Tandem
