Types of dashboard

Custom dashboard

A Custom dashboard contains the widgets that you choose from the Web App.

In each dashboard, it is possible to set:

the dashboard title and,
the associated widgets.

Moreover, there are five types of Custom dashboard:

Widget dashboard. This is an empty dashboard where you can add existing widgets (see Create a widget).
Custom chart dashboard. This type of dashboard is derived from the chart template dashboard. The only difference is that the displayed chart doesn't refresh automatically the displayed variables according to the load selection (the user select the variables to be shown and the graph uses always the selected variables).
Chart template dashboard. This type of dashboard allows users to monitor the consumption of multiple loads simultaneously: the graph shows groups of variables based on the loads selected in the tree view on the left.
Energy summary dashboard. This dashboard displays Daily, Monthly and Yearly consumption data for an ordered list of loads (selected by the user). Furthermore, by means of this page it is possible to select the variables (energies) out of the list of the available variables in the target meter; and change the engineering unit so as to align all the data to a common unit; a set of conversion scale factors is available. Nonetheless, you are free to change the scale according to the needs.
Multi chart Dashboard. a dashboard with 3 chart templates to monitor at the same time 3 groups of variables
