Move Compass Record / Folder

This page describes how to move a record (SQL query, MQTT topic, REST endpoint, Excel sheet) or folder to a different location in the Pirivision Compass module via the Move action.

The move operation is used to organize Compass records in folders by project, plant, or system. Both records and folders can be moved.
