Analysis views¶
The Insights Hub Energy Optimizer addresses different use cases by providing specially designed analysis views. The "Energy Efficiency" page is displayed by default. To switch between analysis views, click on "Currently Viewing" dropdown.
Energy Resource selection¶
These buttons enable switching between the multiple Energy Resources that can be defined on an Energy Consumer. In some views, such as the Energy Efficiency, only one Energy Resource can be selected. The other views, such as the Energy Cost can show results from multiple Energy Resources, so this filter becomes a multi-select.

Absolute: To select a specific date and/or time range.
