Delete, hide, and replace plants

Delete plants

The plant is deleted, including the entire data point history and all personal settings. A controller displays in the tab "Unassigned"↑ as a new plant if the controller registers in the cloud. The user can no longer access the plant. Only the tenant administration can reassign↑ or reactivate them using an activation key. In contrast to "Hide" plant, settings specific to the plant are also deleted.

Hide plants

In contrast to deleting a plant, the specific plant settings are retained under hide plant and are immediately available on the plant is reassigned.

Replace plants

"Replace Plant" typically applies to a defective controller. The workflow is the same as depicted below.
