Verify Data

Once your system starts publishing data look at Administration -> Machine Events. You should start seeing data in this grid immediately.

Once data is flowing into Mingo you must map the incoming data to events. Mapping the data provides context around the records, what cell, part number, department etc. the data originated from.
