Insights Hub Why Am I Losing Data When Using Multiple "Write Timeseries Node" in Visual Flow Creator (VFC)?

Data is often missing in Fleet Manager when triggering multiple "Write Timeseries Node" in VFC to write data to the same timestamp for different variables in an Aspect. What may be the cause of this?

Every time the "Write Timeseries Node" is triggered with a previously used timestamp you are essentially overriding the previous values in that timestamp for all the variables in that Aspect.

For example, if you trigger the "Write Timeseries Node" with the Output Object 1 below and then perform the same actions for Output Object 2. At that point, the Fleet Manager application will show the values for variable_2, but since variable_1 was never defined in your second trigger it will be overridden with a Null value.

To prevent yourself from losing data when triggering the "Write Timeseries Node" for multiple variables in VFC. You will need to make sure all the aspect variables that you want to set are gathered together in the same object as the example below. Then trigger the "Write Timeseries Node" with that output. This process will prevent you from losing any data.
