Dashboards
A dashboard is your own arrangement of widgets. Everyone in your company can look at dashboards; managers and administrators make and change them.
Widgets
| Widget | Shows |
|---|---|
| Value | The latest reading, or the average, lowest, highest or a counter's rise over a period. Optional sparkline of the last 24 hours. |
| Gauge, horizontal bar | A reading on a scale, with its alert limits marked |
| Tank, thermometer, battery | A reading as a level between empty and full |
| Line chart | Up to six readings over time. Readings in different units share one chart scaled 0 to 100%, or stack as panels. |
| Bar chart | Per hour or per day: the average, or how much a counter rose |
| Pie chart | Up to six readings as parts of a whole |
| Heat map | A reading's hourly average by day and hour |
| Scatter plot | One reading against another, with how closely they move together |
| Histogram | How often a reading was at each value |
| Table | Up to 12 readings with value, unit and time |
| On or off | A light for an on and off reading |
| Text, clock | A heading or note; the time in your company's time zone |
| Picture | A floor plan or photo with up to 12 readings placed on it |
| Machine status, machine card | A machine's state, and a card with its readings and OEE |
| OEE, time in state | From the machine's run signal and counters |
| Factory figure | Across every machine: average OEE, machines running, parts made, open alerts |
| Alerts | Alerts for one machine or all |
Widgets that draw data take a colour from a fixed set of nine, chosen to read well in light and dark and for colour blind viewers. Value, gauge, bar and tank widgets can also change colour by value with up to six bands.
Make one
- Open Dashboards, give it a name and press Create, or start from one of the examples.
- Pick a widget from the list, then click it to choose what it shows.
- Drag a widget to move it; drag its bottom right corner to resize it. On a tablet or phone, tap to select first, then drag.
- Press Save. Nobody else sees a change until then.
With the keyboard, the arrow keys move the selected widget and shift with the arrow keys resizes it.
One machine at a time
Tick One machine at a time when creating a dashboard to design it once for several machines with the same readings. Whoever views it picks the machine. This cannot be changed later. A one machine at a time dashboard can also compare up to six machines side by side.
Time range
The bar above every dashboard sets the period for every widget: each widget's own period (the default), today, yesterday, the last 24 hours, 7 or 30 days, this month, or chosen dates. The period is kept in the address, so it can be bookmarked.
Who sees it
A dashboard is seen by everyone in the company, or only by the people you choose. Administrators and managers always see every dashboard.
On a television
Show on TV shows a dashboard full screen, refreshing itself every 30 seconds. It can go round the machines on its own every 15 seconds to 2 minutes.
Share link
A manager can make a share link that shows the dashboard to anyone who opens it, with no sign-in. It shows exactly what the dashboard shows, including alerts if it has an alerts widget. Show it on another website gives code to embed it in your intranet. Turn the link off when it is no longer needed; that removes it everywhere.
