Dashboard and synthesis widgets
A dashboard can consist of up to 10 widgets. When the "edit" mode is selected, you can modify the synthesis to add, delete, or modify a widget.
Once the widget is chosen, to insert it on the dashboard, you must perform a "Drag and drop": select the desired widget shape, keep it selected, and move it to the desired location on the dashboard.
Note that there are differences between widgets in summaries (single-site) and dashboards (multi-site): not all widgets available for single-site analyses can be applied to multi-site analyses and vice versa.
Several categories of widgets are available:
- Indicators
- Distributions
- Monthly evolution
- Annual review
- Other category
Simple Indicators:
A simple indicator displays a value that can be either calculated or reference-based. By clicking on the widget from a dashboard or synthesis, you can view the evolution of the called value over a selected period (day/month...).
1. Gauge
The gauge is used to position a result relative to reference values, for instance, comparing consumption after an energy efficiency action to a reference consumption before the action. By clicking on the widget from a dashboard or synthesis, you can view the evolution of the called value over a selected period (day/month...).
2. Top/Flop
This widget allows you to compare performances and rank multiple sites when applied to a multi-site dashboard. In single-site mode, on the synthesis, this widget allows for ranking between different data periods.
3. Percentage Gauge
The percentage gauge highlights the gap relative to a set goal. For example, it is useful for measuring the achievement of the initial threshold of 40% final energy savings under the tertiary decree.
By clicking on the widget, you can view the evolution of the percentage over a chosen period.
4. Pareto
The Pareto chart is useful for highlighting the distribution of impacts across different sites based on an indicator.
In the widget settings, you can modify the Pareto percentage (default is 80/20), allowing you to adjust the number of sites displayed based on their impact. You can also choose to display either the name and code or just the name for a site.
In single-site mode, this widget allows for ranking between different data periods and can be used, for example, to create a monotone within the context of the load curve.
5. Energy Class
By default, the graph displays different energy performance classes (kWh/m²) as defined by ADEME. In the widget settings, you can adjust the number of classes (from 2 to 10) and define the threshold values. You can also compare the energy performance to a reference performance over a specific period or perimeter.
Distribution Indicators:
1. Pie and Treemap
Be careful, the "pie chart" is often misused. It should not be used for making comparisons! Moreover, if there are more than 6 segments (thus 6 response options), you should choose a more suitable representation form, as your pie chart will become unreadable.
The treemap, on the other hand, is the ideal graph for ranking your data. The visualization is divided into rectangles, whose size and position are determined by a quantitative variable.
The pie chart is one of the most commonly used graphs in statistical analysis. It is generally used to visualize proportional data or to express percentages. It is ideal for representing results following a flat sorting, which allows you to visualize the distribution in percentage or frequency of the responses obtained from a single question.
2. Horizontal and Vertical Bars
The horizontal or vertical bar chart is also among the most popular. It allows for quickly identifying the most frequently answered options, thus outlining the initial trends in your analysis.
Unlike the pie chart, horizontal bars are perfectly suitable for comparing different data sets. However, be careful with color use, which should facilitate the reading and understanding of the chart.
Monthly Evolution and Annual Review Indicators - Graphs:
Histograms and Combined Charts
Histograms and combined charts allow you to view data over selected time periods. They also enable you to visually compare the results of configured indicators over previous periods (day, week, month, year).
Results can be exported in Excel format by clicking on the widget settings.
Areas
Areas enhance lines and curves, generally to facilitate readers' understanding. They highlight a series of values with colors to aid in visualizing differences.
3. Line Charts
This is the ideal and most suitable graph for highlighting trends. Lines or curves allow you to connect points and individual values, visualize a sequence, or display a trend over a period. Be careful not to add too many variables, as this can reduce readability.
Monthly and Annual Evolution Indicators - Tables:
Table
Tables are useful for displaying aggregated data by period and by indicator, represented in rows or columns. They also allow for visual comparison of the configured indicator results over previous periods (day, week, month, year). You can export the results in Excel format by clicking on the widget settings.
Other Indicators:
1. Mapping
The map allows you to see the geographic distribution of sites integrated via the asset by entering the GPS coordinates. It is possible to color-code the sites according to two types of analyses: alerts and indicators. Alerts will highlight sites with a triggered alert on the map in red, and indicators will color-code sites according to the predefined thresholds in the widget.
2. Scatter Plot
The scatter plot widget displays sites on a graph based on chosen x and y axes. You can also assign a color code based on site properties: school in blue, roadway in red, etc.
You can configure the values of the graph zones through the widget settings.
In a single-site view, this graph allows you to position aggregate consumption over a period based on two indicators on the x and y axes. For example, this allows you to create the site's energy signature by using the site's monthly consumption on the y-axis and the site's monthly Heating Degree Days (HDD) on the x-axis.
3. Notes
The Notes widget allows sharing information/actions with other collaborators. You can change the name and color of the note.
4. Actions
The Action Plan widget allows you to visualize certain actions such as:
- Display only actions assigned to you
- Filter the list of actions displayed by a list of tags
- Filter the list of actions by those having an energy impact
- Display actions with the "completed" status
You have two different display options: List View and Progress View.
List View
The list view displays a list of actions corresponding to the user-defined parameter (see options above). The user can see:
- The name, priority, and status of the action
- The estimated deadline if the action is ongoing
- The actual deadline if the action is "completed"
- The site of the action
- The initials of the action's responsible person (and their email when hovered over)
Overdue actions (status is still to do or in progress, and the estimated deadline is in the past) are displayed with a red border. Clicking on an action in the list view opens the action page in a new tab ([MS] Actions (TODO)).
Progress View
When using the progress view, the user can choose to:
- Display the total cost of actions
- Display the estimated benefit
- Display the actual benefit
- Display the real profit percentage compared to the estimated profit
The widget will display the actions corresponding to the user-defined parameter (see options above) as a progress bar, showing the distribution of the action by status 'to do' (in blue), 'in progress' (in yellow), and 'done' (in green). The total number of actions is displayed, as well as the number of overdue actions (status is still to do or in progress, and the estimated deadline is in the past). By clicking on the number of overdue actions, the user can view them in a view similar to the list view. By clicking "View Actions," the user can see all actions in a view similar to the list view. Clicking on an action in the list view opens the action page in a new tab ([MS] Actions (TODO)).
5. Alerts
The alerts widget allows you to call up the various alerts configured in the analyses tab. You can set up an email notification upon receiving an alert by subscribing to the alert using the small bell icon.
Other Specific Widgets for Synthesis (Single-Site):
1. Heat Map
The Heat Map allows you to quickly visualize the indicator's results over a day for a period of a week or a month. It allows you to check, for example, the operating times of certain building equipment (HVAC). You can change the aggregation by hour or by 10 minutes.
2. Site Information
The site information widget displays the characteristics of a site (location, area, number of occupants, etc.) and a photo of the site. You can add numeric and alphanumeric properties to the site's information list.
3. Load Curve
The load curve widget allows you to analyze power calls from the Enedis distributor in 10-minute or 30-minute increments compared to their subscribed power.
4. Sensor Monitoring
Sensor monitoring allows you to upload an image of a room/building/equipment and position the associated sensors on it. Hovering over the sensor shows the sensor's name and its last integrated value.
5. Subscribed Power Optimization
