Hello team,
We probably have more than 350 apps, and sometimes a few of them are set to run in development mode on certain stations for validation purposes. After the validation is completed, we occasionally forget to switch the configuration back to run the most recently published version.
Would it be possible to have a report or view that shows something like:
- A chart or table indicating which apps are assigned in development mode on specific stations, or
- A list by station showing which apps are currently running in development mode?
Right now, I often have to manually check each station one by one to make sure no apps are still set to development mode.
Hi Christopher, thanks for sharing this. Before I answer, are you familiar with the “Pending Approvals” and “Pending Release” state of apps? App Publication Overview

I just watched Pete’s video — it looks good for certain cases. However, let’s say we’re not ready to publish yet. As developers, we’re validating the station, triggers, integration with test equipment, etc. In some cases, we don’t need to publish — or the app is simply not ready to be published yet — but we do need to test directly on the production line to make sure everything is fixed and working properly.
The issue is that, in the end, we sometimes forget to restore the station to its normal configuration.
It’s not something that happens all the time, but every now and then we end up doing a manual check station by station to make sure there’s nothing left running in development mode.
Understood. Have you looked at our Station API before? If you look at the response, I am wondering if you could use that to zoom in on stations that may need updates: /api/stations/v1/stations - stations
