How do Troverlo subscriptions work? (Internal)
Overview on how Troverlo uses subscriptions
Summary
Tags, subscriptions, and observations are tied to an Asset.
Subscriptions are NOT tied to a Tag, nothing is tied to a Tag.
There are 4 Tag and Subscription Types:
- TT - Troverlo Tag
- TTi - Troverlo Tag IoT
- TTR - Troverlo Tag Reader
- TTA - Troverlo Tag Autonomo
Attributes of a Subscription
States
-
Available - If a subscription is not associated with an Asset
-
(ie A Tag must be attached to an Asset for the Asset to have a subscription)
-
-
Utilized - If a subscription is associated with an Asset
-
(ie A Tag must be attached to an Asset for the Asset to have a subscription)
-
-
Expired - if a subscription has expired (ie it has not been renewed), but a Tag is still associated with an Asset.
-
The expiration of a subscription causes the Tag to change state to Disabled and the Asset to change state to Deactivated.
-
-
Deactivated - if a subscription is deactivated for cessation of service and can no longer be used but it must be maintained in the system for auditing purposes
Subscription Duration
Subscriptions have a 1-year expiration from the time of the creation.
Fair Costing Model
- Create a new subscription if there are no subscriptions of the same type in the Available state
- If there are ANY of the appropriate subscription type available, reuse those first.
- When an Asset is moved to the Archive state (a Tag is removed), the subscription is disassociated with the Asset and it's state is changed to the Available state
