Designing a dashboard is implemented through several dialog boxes. The basic data is determined after selecting the option to add a new dashboard or edit an existing one. In this view we specify basic information such as:

For the dashboard, we can specify the type of time filter. Whether it is a filter containing only a year selection, whether it should be year-month or another more accurate one. How the data is filtered and displayed depends on this.

The dashboard is designed by specifying the content of each dashboard line. A dashboard line is a set of tiles, which are placed in one section. The system tries to automatically adjust the number of tiles to the available space by expanding/decreasing the tiles accordingly.

Two types of lines are available: elements and panels. Elements are a set of controls that contain a set of visualization data but are not zoomable. Panels are a set of controls that contain more data or are presented in such a way where it is important to be able to enlarge the view to full screen and export the data. Typically, panels are used to visualize charts and tables.

Editing a new line involves specifying its title, the option whether to display the title in the visualization, the type of line and its size (important in the case of panel-type lines) - this determines the vertical, default, size of such a line.

Each line consists of a list of elements/panels. Depending on the selected system type, it allows you to add data from the list of available visualization styles. After opening the window for editing a line item, we can define the method of presentation, the title of a given tile. If you select a type of panel/element, the system each time presents a preview image of a sample view of such a tile.

For each item, it is also required to specify the data source from which the data for the visualization comes. Depending on the tile/panel visualization type, the user can select the data source from: Production Data, Production Plans, Resource Parameters or Grouping Limits. Depending on the visualization method, one or many such parameters can be selected (tables, charts allow you to collect multiple data into one chart)

In the dashboard, display an appropriate message when a tile does not have production data history for a given month

Selecting the Energy → Production section from the main menu will display a view of the parameters in a yearly context. By default, parameters for the current year are loaded.

All parameters that have been defined and are set to be visible in the annual summary appear in the data cells.

Selecting a different date range will reload the information stored in the system. In addition, selecting the 'Favorites' button will switch the view to the parameters that each user has independently specified as favorites.

In the advanced filter - hidden panel 'Filter', advanced filters are available, among others, filtering by selected parameter category.

The parameter list has a summation row that totals the value of each parameter at the bottom of each column. The table also has support for definable limits and warnings for parameters. If a parameter exceeds the definable warning limits, the cells will be colored yellow (warning) or red (alarm). Limits and thresholds are defined in the parameter settings.

If a parameter in a certain month reaches a value defined as a warning or alert against a given annual limit, the cells of the parameter in question will be marked in yellow (warning) or red (alert).

Selecting the 'Edit' button in the dashboard view or selecting any month in the summary table takes you to the monthly view. After selecting the monthly data, the detail view of the month’s data is loaded. The data is divided into sections. Each section has a header that has information about:

When a section is selected, it expands and shows all the parameters assigned to it. Each has a value and two buttons associated with it. The value in case a user is responsible for it and has not been entered has a red border. The section also has an edit button for the section in question.

Each parameter consists of several components:

If the value of the parameter for a given year exceeds the limits, the field is colored yellow (warning) or red (alert), respectively.

After selecting the information button, a window appears with basic information such as parameters, responsible persons and set limits for the parameter in the current year.

In this view, we can block/unblock data entry for this parameter in a given month. We can call up the chart window in the time domain or add/remove a parameter from the list of our own favorites.

The window additionally presents information on whether the parameter is configured to be visible by default in the annual preview and in the startup dashboard (data set by the system administrator). The limit and warning and alarm thresholds are also visible. The data is displayed only if the parameter has a set limit.

Email notification - when the mail icon is selected, a window opens with the possibility of notification by email messages to people who are assigned to the parameter. The message is sent to those responsible for entering the parameter. This can facilitate sending information about a potential error in the entered data or the need to enter data.

Selecting the chart button opens the chart visualization window. By default, the period of the last year (12 months) is loaded. The chart can be parameterized using the options available in the upper bar of the window:

After selecting the 'History' button, a window opens showing the history of data entry for a given parameter. Information about the entered value, the person and date of entry, whether the entry results from event reporting and whether it is correct are displayed. Access to attachments entered during event registration is possible by selecting the Show button in the Attachment column. This allows you to add files, but also download, preview or delete them.

For event cases, the data entered as event parameters allows you to modify the actual value displayed as the value of the parameter in the monthly view. This is what the information displayed in the history view is for, if we show it for this type of parameter.

The system indicates:

The user can mark it as incorrect for a selected history entry. Selecting the Delete button will mark this record as invalid BUT the record will not be deleted. Additionally, the value resulting from this history entry will be subtracted from the current production data value.

The user also has the option of converting the production data value for a given month to any value. By selecting the Convert button, the user has the option to enter a different value than the current value for a given production parameter AND a different value from the sum of historical records. This can be used to make a final adjustment to the value of measurement data resulting from arrangements with, for example, external companies/organizational units. In such a case, the Current Value will have a different value than the Sum from Events.

Changing the parameter value requires appropriate permissions. In order for the user to be able to make such a change, he must be granted the 'Production data - value exchange' permission.

If a logged-in user is specified as the person responsible for specifying/entering a parameter, this is indicated in the monthly view, indicating which parameter has not yet been entered by the user.

To start entering data, in the monthly view, select the 'Edit' button in the selected section. A window will appear with the parameters entered for the section. Parameters that the user is required to enter have a red asterisk and are editable. Parameters to which the user does not have access are locked.

In the view, if a parameter has not been entered, a hint of the input format is displayed depending on whether it is a numeric or time type. After entering the data and confirming it, we go back to the selected monthly view.

The system automatically notifies users by email when data has not been entered into the system. Automatically, according to the settings, the system at the beginning of the month sends information to selected users about the lack of entered data, along with a list of parameters that have not yet been entered by the user.

Categories of production parameters allow you to group parameters into categories and groups that facilitate the work on reporting individual areas of production data. The production data list contains both basic information such as the category name, but also the display order. Using the arrow buttons in the action menu, you can change the order of the event view.

Adding/editing takes place after selecting the Add or View action and then entering the edit mode.

A category has its own name and a list of groups within the category. Adding/editing is done by selecting the appropriate actions from the available buttons.

After adding the categories/groups, they can be used in the production parameter definition window to divide the production parameters according to the requirements/process division of the plant.

After entering the definition of elements, a window appears with the possibility of entering/editing production parameters.

To add a new parameter, call the action with the '(+) Add' button. After calling this action, the parameter entry window appears.

Each parameter has its own properties:

External Integrations:

For the integration system of production data from the GSW software, the ability to additionally filter data and determine the target production parameter has been added. Using the 'External system - data filter' option, we can indicate the code and value that will be included in this parameter. This allows you to enter a given parameter, e.g., data from a weighing system relating only to a specific supplier or vehicle.

In the 'Responsible' tab, the user has the option to indicate one or more persons responsible for the monthly entry of a parameter. This is used in notification mechanisms and production data checking.

In the list of persons, we specify the list of persons responsible for reporting on a given production parameter. These are the people who have the authority to enter new monthly/event values for this parameter. A separate list is the list of notified persons - when users are added to this list, they will be included in the notification mechanisms for exceeding the limit of a given production parameter.

In the 'Limits' tab, you can define limits for a parameter in an annual period.

When you select the option to add a limit, a window appears for entering the value of the limit, the year of validity and optionally the percentage of thresholds at which the system will alert you if they are exceeded. Thresholds are given in percentages relative to the limit. The "ignore notifications" flag causes the system not to send information to users about exceeding the limit, despite the active exceeding of the limit (if the limit must remain at such a level due to, for example, arrangements with external entities)

Grouping limits allows you to specify limits for several production parameters. This allows you to enter and monitor information that cannot be divided into a single production parameter. An example would be data on the delivery/consumption of certain materials resulting from an integrated permit. The data is reported as individual materials, the limit applies to the total. The system allows you to define and visualize the exceeding of such limits.

After selecting the section on grouping limits, you get a list of already defined limits. Adding a new limit is realized by the (+) button.

In the edit/create new limit view, we specify the name and description of the grouping limit, specify the list of production data that goes into the calculation of the limit, and define the parameters of the limit.

The limit parameters and their definition window is the same as the limit definition for the production parameter.
