Dashboards: This section provides a consolidated and searchable list of dashboards that you’ve created for your sites or assets. Click into any to view trends, charts, graphs, and any other data visualization you have set up. 

I/O: You can use the I/O section as a searchable view of all of the data inputs you have in your organization. You can also add a data input or output with the “Add” dropdown button in the right hand corner. 

Maps: Your dashboard home screen will give you a map view of the sites, equipment, or assets across your organization. Each is color-coded according to the criticality of any alert for that site or asset. Click into any of the alerting assets for more details.

Automation: This section is used to program control applications (only for IG21). View by the gateway or program, and see deployment history as well as what’s currently running. 

Reports: Use reports to pull time series data for Assets. You can add multiple data inputs or assets, set specific timeframes, adjust time intervals, and download a CSV.

Analysis: Compare different data inputs against each other for a set timeframe. You can use this to run root cause analysis, compare efficiency between assets, or diagnose an issue.

Asset Hierarchy: Below your main navigation options you have a list view of your assets - whether that be a general location, specific site, equipment type, component of a larger system, or sensor. Here you can create a logical grouping of asses (i.e. a well site containing assets like water pumps, a region containing multiple generators, etc). You can also use the “+” to add additional assets. When you click into an asset, you can see any related dashboards, data inputs and outputs, details such as metadata, and alert events under activity.
