With the “disable”-button on the top, you can switch off a digital twin. By this, the digital twin will be invisible to all other users except for administrating users with the rule “all.manage”. Besides, the states will store the last received value and will not update anymore. Rules in the rule editor will not be re-evaluated or trigger actions anymore. Disabling a digital twin is the way to make it disappear in niotix. Because a digital twin has a lot of dependencies with other twins, devices, and accounts, it is not possible to directly delete a digital twin. By this, it is ensured for all users that no inconsistencies might appear.
