Course description

Build out your first SkySpark Project as we look into the underlying data structures within this analytics platform.
Learn how to create and tag records, using Project Haystack v4.0 standards. Understand how to bind points through adding and tuning connector records. Create and practise Axon filter expressions to retrieve stored data, using our bespoke Axon Command Console.
Understand more about historical data, computed histories, writing to setpoints, and converting values. Set up historical rules and assign Spark costs, along with how to use the new current rule type.
No SkySpark installation, licence, or HVAC knowledge required.

Reviews
The course was well structured & easy to follow, being able to practice & attempt using Axon during the program was a great help in the learning process.
Ceri Gittins
There were a lot of concepts that were covered without making it overwhelming due to its arcadia tool giving opportunity to try everything on our own.
Akshay Holla
Overall, I think the course is GREAT! Specifically the parts on tagging, rules, and the Folio database are well organized - these are topics that can be difficult to understand for many new users.
I also think the "Something to say?" links are a cool idea. Your comics provide a nice storyline (to break up the monotony of reading), and the green alien characters are cute.
Great job!
