Systems

Systems are collections of modules

A system is the main logical building blocks within PlaceOS. They contain three components:

• A collection of modules

• Settings which will apply to the system and modules in it

• Basic metadata (name, description etc)

Purpose

Systems often represent physical spaces, such as meeting rooms. They can also represent connected items which run across physical spaces, such as a range of digital signage. Otherwise, they can represent a non-physical system with data inputs and outputs, such as a payment portal.

Systems and Zones

Zones are groups of systems which can reflect their physical or conceptual groupings. Systems can belong to zero or more zones.

Settings Inheritance

Systems inherit settings from their Zones, in the order specified on their Zones tab (highest priority at top).
