Getting Started
PlantPulse Studio is a tool that builds field screens through chat. Even without coding knowledge, when you write "Create a temperature dashboard for Line 3," an app connected to real equipment data is created.
This chapter covers only what you need to know in the first 5 minutes—from login to screen layout.
Login
When you access the address provided by your administrator in a browser, the login screen appears.
- Enter your username and password.
- Click the Login button.
There are two types of accounts, but they work the same way — either an account created by Studio or your usual PlantPulse account. Regardless of which, just enter the account your administrator gave you.
Click KO · EN in the top right of the login card to change the login screen language.
If the username or password is wrong, 아이디 또는 비밀번호가 올바르지 않습니다 is displayed. If the account is correct but a different message appears, it may be a server or platform issue — refer to Troubleshooting or contact your administrator.
First Login Guidance Card
On first login, a 5-step guidance card appears. Read through it by clicking Next, and click Get Started at the end to close it. If you don't want to see it now, click Skip in the bottom left. Once closed, it will not appear again.
Screen Layout
After login, the Home screen opens. The screen has three main sections.
| Location | Name | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Left vertical strip | Navigation | Menu navigation (icons only) |
| Center | Work area | Content of the selected menu |
| Bottom thin line | Status bar | Connection status · Theme · Language · Version |
Left Navigation
The narrow, dark vertical strip on the far left is the Navigation. To save space, only icons are displayed, so hover your mouse over an icon to see the menu name as a tooltip on the right. The currently active menu is highlighted with a green border.
From top to bottom:
| Icon | Menu | Function |
|---|---|---|
Home fa-house | Home | Write a sentence in the large input box to create an app → Creating an app from Home |
Chat bubble fa-messages | Chat | Ask data questions directly without creating an app → Querying data through chat |
Grid fa-grid-2 | Applications | List of apps I created · Open · Deploy · Share → App catalog and sharing |
Radar fa-radar | Watchers | Monitor data periodically and receive notifications → Watchers and alarms |
Lightbulb fa-lightbulb | Skills | Register field expertise for reuse → Field skills |
Shop fa-store | Templates | Start apps using pre-built screen templates |
Grid fa-grid-2 | Gallery ↗ | Collection of publicly deployed apps (opens in new tab) |
Book fa-book-open | Manual ↗ | This documentation you're reading now (opens in new tab) |
At the bottom are logout and admin-only management menus.
| Icon | Menu | Note |
|---|---|---|
People fa-users | User Management | Admin only |
Bar chart fa-chart-column | Statistics | Admin only |
Gear fa-gear | Settings | Admin only → Settings (Admin) |
Logout arrow fa-arrow-right-from-bracket | Logout | All users |
The round icon at the very bottom is your account. Hover over it to see your username.
If a red number appears in the top right of the Radar icon, there are unread notifications. Numbers above 9 are shown as 9+.
Each screen has its own URL
When you switch menus, the browser address changes along with it. This means you can share screens by link, browser back/forward works normally, and refreshing maintains the screen you were viewing.
| Screen | URL |
|---|---|
| Home | / |
| Chat | /ask |
| Applications (all) | /projects |
| Applications — In Development · Deployed · Shared with Me | /projects/dev · /projects/deployed · /projects/shared |
| Watchers | /watchers |
| Notifications | /notifications |
| Skills | /skills |
| Templates | /market |
| User Management | /users |
| Statistics | /usage |
| Settings | /settings |
Instead of explaining verbally to an administrator "See the AI tab in Settings," you can simply send https://<STUDIO_HOST>/settings.
If there's a typo or you open an old bookmark, you see Home instead of a blank screen. When you log out or your session ends and you log back in, the URL also returns to /.
The state of having an app open in the builder cannot be shared by link. The recipient must open the app directly from the Applications list (/projects).
/mWhen you access from a mobile browser, it automatically switches to mobile view (/m) → Using on mobile. Deployed app URLs (/apps/…) do not switch and open as-is.
Bottom Status Bar
The thin line at the bottom of the screen shows the current status at a glance.
- Left — AI: A small green indicator means normal. Yellow means connecting, red means error.
- Right — Theme: Switch between light and dark screens. Use light if the field is brightly lit, dark if you're in a dimly lit control room.
- Right — KO / EN: Instantly change the screen language between Korean and English. No need to log in again.
- Right — Version: The currently installed Studio version. Include this number when reporting issues.
- Far right — Platform: Connection status with the PlantPulse platform that provides equipment data. Hover over the indicator to see detailed status.
| Platform indicator | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Green | 플랫폼 연결됨 — Normal |
| Yellow | 플랫폼 응답 이상 — Slow or partial failures |
| Red (blinking) | 플랫폼 단절 — 실데이터·와처 일시 중지 |
| Gray | 플랫폼 상태 확인 중 |
Equipment data cannot be read, so chat responses and watcher execution stop. You can still edit apps, but wait until the connection is restored to work with live data.
What you can do by role
Each account has an assigned role, and what menus appear and what you can do depends on your role.
| Role | What you can do |
|---|---|
| Viewer | Ask data questions through chat, use shared apps. You cannot create or edit apps. |
| Builder | Everything a Viewer can do + create, edit, deploy, and share apps; create watchers and skills |
| Admin | Everything a Builder can do + user management, statistics, settings |
Most field engineers are Builders.
Below the input box, 뷰어 권한은 앱을 생성할 수 없습니다. appears as guidance and the Create button is disabled. If app creation is needed, ask your administrator to change your role.
