You can create contexts to organize devices within the SmartServer IoT to mirror their locations within the physical site to facilitate effective system planning and navigation. A context is a digital representation of a real world region, area, or space.  You will use the CMS Planning widget (introduced in SmartServer 2.8) to view, create, organize, edit, and delete contexts.  Other CMS widgets use the context information to organize your devices by the contexts you define. For example, you can organize sequence of operations, dashboards, and connections by contexts. See the /wiki/spaces/DrftSSIoT/pages/1476854SmartServer IoT Node-RED Tutorial for a getting started tutorial on creating a sequence of operation and applying it to a context within the system.

For each context you create, you select a context type which can be a campus, building, floor, room, or area.  The context type represents a location within a site.  You can associate other system entities such as datapoints, devices and users with these contexts to provide a physical location reference to these entities.  For example, you can use contexts to identify select specific devices or user interfaces such as the following:

...

• – replace a device (refer to the Provisioning, Deprovisioning, and Replacing Devices section)
  
  
•  –  deprovision a device (refer to the Provisioning, Deprovisioning, and Replacing Devices section)
  
  
•  – run a test on a device (refer to the Testing Devices and Managing Datapoints section)
  
  
•  – show alarm information, if any exist (refer to the Setting up Alarm Email Notifications section)
  
  
•  – show the device datapoint browser (refer to the Testing Devices and Managing Datapoints section)
  
  
• – show device datapoints (refer to the Testing Devices and Managing Datapoints section)
  
  
•  – show reports (refer to the Viewing Data Trend Reports, Viewing Maintenance Reports, or Viewing Device Status Reports section)
