and then select the file with the suffix "_device_defiles" that we have already downloaded. Drag it into the text box.
2.3.2 Modify the rule chain in the device profiles

So we need to change the input device of each module in the dashboard , and the corresponding device name is the IMEI of the device we are connected to.
(For example, if our input device IMEI is 863663062789483, then our input device name is 863663062789483)
In this section, we should first open our newly imported dashboard and click on "Edit mode" in the upper right corner to edit it.
Afterwards, select the module to be modified and click on the top right corner of the module“ 🖊” Enter the editing interface,
then find the Datasource section, select the corresponding device name, and click "Apply" in the upper right corner.
