Users can configure dashboards based on their needs. The Define Your Dashboard feature displays data for space, meters, or equipment. Select a chart and add the points to display. Custom dashboards have the following functionality for data visualization and data analysis:
- Time slicing: Data is plotted based on different time slices on the dashboard such as data during equipment on or off state. Data aggregation displays based on the time slicing.
- Aggregation: Flexibility to visualize data in different aggregations for month, day, hour in terms of average, minimum and maximum over a user-defined date-time range. Flexibility to view raw data visualization option. Raw data is the single source of truth view.
- Save Favorite: Flexibility to quickly access favorite saved charts from any page in as application. Flexibility to view favorite chart is accessed from a user's list of saved charts, from the properties of individual data points saved in the chart, or from the drill-down options of the chart's associated building.
OBEM provides the following options when users create custom dashboards:
- Line Chart: Maps different points with the same unit of measure, or up to four different units of measure in the same chart, displaying multiple y-axis.
- Area Chart: Maps different points with the same unit of measure, or up to four different units of measure in the same chart, displaying multiple y-axis.
- Column Chart, Stacked Column Chart, Stacked Column Aggregation Chart: Maps different points with the same unit of measure, or up to four different units of measure in the same chart and display multiple y-axis.
- Bar Chart, Stacked Bar Chart: Map different points with the same unit of measure, or up to four different units of measure in the same chart, displaying multiple y-axis.
- Pie Chart: View the consumption of buildings in a location, and how each building’s consumption contributes to the overall consumption of the location. The contribution from each building is shown in a percentage format that provides an easy view to the user about the building that is contributing the most in consumption.
- Heat Map Chart: Used for detection of hot spots that lead to high consumption and demand during a specific part of a day, for quicker corrective actions for when the hot spots occur. You can map a single point at a time. The heat map showing the thermal characteristics of the space displays the occupancy of the equipment.
OBEM automatically adds the minimum and maximum color range, but the user can edit these values.
Custom dashboards can display data in bar or chart format and also show different combinations of charts.
- Combination Charts: Use the chart to visualize multiple sets of data in various graphical formats. The following combination charts are available: Column-line chart, column-area chart, stacked column-aggregation line chart, stacked column-stacked area chart
- Scatter Chart: Flexibility to compare two or more data points based on their relationship using scatter chart. Scatter chart visually represents the relationship between two or more different data series over a user-defined date-time range.
Users can share customized dashboards with other users and add comments to convey additional insights and findings.
