Overlay Single

Last updated: July 10, 2020

Widget size: 1 x 1, 2 x 1, 3 x 1

This widget allows you to plot up to 6 points on the same graph. The initial display defaults to daily averages for the previous 14 days, but this can be changed. As well as displaying 6 points for comparison, it can also display a base bar, which can be used as a target for all points displayed.

The widget also allows the binary data to be viewed, thus showing, for example, on and off states of an asset.

Customisation

The following options labelled "x6" are available for all 6 point traces.

Properties

Points can be at any level as they are identified by looking at the hierarchy. I.e. one, and only one, point for each of the above properties is expected at some (any) level under each site container. If any of the above properties are missing the line will simply not be displayed.

When assigning the point idents, multiple points from various sites / assets can be allocated against each POINT. This works well with repetitive site structure. Here we can see we have assigned the point named "Reading" as Point and the points named "Total Value" as Point2.

When the user views this on the dashboard, if they select the top level org "Amulet Systems", Point1 will be a sum of the "Reading" points. Point2 will be a sum of the "Total Value" points. As the user filters through and clicks on individual sites, only the data from the points that are within the selected site will be displayed. If the user clicks on "Site 1" then only the data from the points within that container will be displayed in the graph.

Example

The following graph shows two points that had binary enabled. The values are represented by block colours in a horizontal bar.
