With a heatmap widget, you can display your data on a visual map to easily recognize patterns and trends. The heatmap visualizes different data points using color scales that indicate intensity and frequency. Here is a step-by-step guide to creating a heatmap widget:
1. Create chart
- Navigate within the platform to the Dashboards tab.
- Select the desired dashboard to which you want to add the widget.
- Click on the “Add element” button and then on the desired widget.
2. Set title
- Give the widget a title, which will be displayed at the top left of the widget after configuration.
3. Configure data
Click on manage.
You must decide whether the widget should display readings or analysis data.
3.1 Analysis data
If the heatmap is to display analysis data:
- Step 1: Select "Analysis data" in the data menu.
- Step 2: Define the analysis type (e.g. average, total).
- Step 3: Determine the time period to be analyzed.
- Step 4: Specify the interval at which the data is to be updated.
3.2 Readings
If the heatmap is to display Readings:
- Step 1: Select "Readings" in the data menu.
- Step 2: Determine the measured value to be visualized.
- Step 3: Select the time period that the widget should cover.
- Step 4: Determine the aggregation (cumulation) of the data. You can choose between:
- MAX: Highest value in the period
- MIN: Lowest value in the period
- SUM: Sum of the values in the period
- AVG: Average of the values in the period
- LAST: Last (most recent) value
- FIRST: First value in the period
- COUNT: Number of transmitted values
Example for "COUNT":
If a device transmits a value every 15 minutes (4 times per hour), the "COUNT" for one day is 96 values.
4. Manage Devices
Click on Manage Devices.
Choose between:
Dynamic Devices
A widget with dynamic devices automatically updates its content based on the plant selected in the Plant Selection.
Static Devices
A widget with static devices does not update its content based on the plant selected in the Plant Selection.
4.1 Define Components (Dynamic Devices)
Under Facility Selector, choose the desired plants (multiple selections possible).
Under Device Type, select the desired device type.
With the Facility Selector widget, you can:
-
Select all accessible plants
-
Use a dropdown or step-through selection directly on the dashboard
4.2 Define Components (Static Devices)
Determine the components from which the data for the widget originates:
- Step 1: Filter the devices based on:
- A: Names defined in the system editor.
- B: Facility in which the device is installed.
- C: Device type.
- Step 2: In list D, select the devices whose data is to be used.
- Step 3: Add the selected devices to list E.
- Step 4: You can remove devices from the selection via area F.
