Device Sessions

Device sessions are records of attempted device communication with the RALS™ SYSTEM.

A session will be in one of the following states:

Icon	Status	Notes
	Failed	Device failed to download
	Unassigned	Device does not have assigned location
	Started	Device download started
	Ended By Device	Device ended session
	Superseded	Device started a new session
	Succeeded	Device downloaded successfully
	Ended	Device session ended

A device session’s institution identity is its device’s assigned location’s parent institution.

Device sessions cannot be manually added; they are automatically added for some device types.

Device sessions cannot be edited.

Device sessions cannot be cloned.

Device sessions cannot be deactivated, nor deleted.
