 |
Sankey | Represents the energy and material flows as arrows whose width is proportional to the flow rate. This helps you recognize, for example, how energy is flowing through your plant. You can find more information here: Visualizing energy flows (Sankey) |
 |
Duration Curve | Visualizes a chart sorted by size. You can find more information here: Visualizing a chart sorted by size (Duration curve) |
 |
3D bar | Visualization of three parameters as a 3-dimensional bar chart. You can find more information here: Visualizing relationships in 3D (3D bars). |
 |
Image | Displays an image, such as a logo, on the dashboard. Suitable for presentation of dashboards on large screens. You can find more information here: Linking an image for presentation |
 |
Traffic light | Displays a traffic light, that indicates the state of a single parameter. Suitable for presentation of statuses that can be represented as color states. |
 |
Compare KPI | Displays a bar chart that can be used to compare assets in relation to certain contexts to each other or vice-versa. You can find more information here: Compare contexts across assets |
 |
Notification Status | Indicates active notifications according to one notification rule on a dashboard. You can find more information here: Observe notifications on a dashboard |
In user-defined dashboards, you create widgets according to your needs, configure them, and arrange them on the dashboard.
You can edit, delete, copy and export the visualized data as a csv file for widgets that have been created once.
Detail Views¶
