When Stream status is set to Active, real-time data will be supported.  When Query status is set to Inactive, Nastel XRay API users using this token will not have the ability to run queries.

To generate a new token with a unique QR code for a repository, from the bottom of the window select a repository from the Repositories drop-down menu and click Generate token.
