What is a Dashboard?
Dashboards are the feature which provides at a glance the main indicators of the project in order for you gauge exactly how is your installation performing. And get the detail for every specific location.
Each Dashboard is composed by a set of widgets that can be setup to visualize different type of information about your portfolio.
Dashboards belong to the user that has created them but can be shared between other users of the account.
Types of Dashboards
The platform is organized on location hierarchy levels, and so are dashboards too. There are three types of dashboard adapted to the platform organization:
- Zone Dashboard: this dashboard is used to show the aggregated data of all the locations you have.
- Template Dashboard: this dashboard will be useful for multi-location projects. Generate a template with all the widgets you want to use in all your locations.
- Location Dashboards: Dashboards that are unique for each location.
Learn how to configure dashboards and widgets in the platform.
Requirements
When it comes to the Zone or Template Dashboards, is important to know that in order to visualize their data it's necessary to have the reference meters properly configured on the locations affected by the Dashboard.
How to share Dashboards
As we have explained Dashboards are specific to each user. However, the platform offers the possibility of sharing them with other users who have acces to the account.
You can also share widgets that belong to dashboards on external websites in order to visualize the consumption outside the platform.
Dashboards as Apps
The EMS Platform gives you the option to expand the customization of your Dashboards by allowing you to create your own Dashboards as Apps using our API, or downloading already existing Apps from the Apps market, adding them to your Dashboard section.
Among the existing Apps these are the most remarkable ones:
- Synoptic App: Allows you to create synoptic charts which simulate your installation, and add the main indicators.
- Tree map: This app allows you to visualize and rank your locations and sublocations by their consumption. You will be able to know how are them distributed compared with other locations of your facility.
- Heat map: visualize and analyse your consumption data from all your devices through a thermal matrix.
