Understanding Hover and Click Functionalities in Sensor Dashboards

Proqio sensor dashboards are designed to provide intuitive, real-time insights through interactive elements. Two of the most powerful features that enhance user experience are hover and click functionalities. These allow us to quickly access sensor data, visualize trends, and take action - all with minimal effort.

Hover Functionality

Hover is triggered when the mouse pointer moves over a sensor icon or element without clicking

What You See When Hovering:

• Labels: Sensor name or ID for quick identification.
• Parameter Values: Real-time readings such as temperature, X, Y, etc.
• Alert Status: Visual cues indicating whether the sensor is in a normal, warning, or critical state.

Hovering gives us a quick overview of the sensor’s condition, helping us grasp the situation at a glance without navigating away from the main dashboard.

Click Functionality

Click function is activated when you press and releases the mouse button on a sensor or interface element.

What happens when you click on an instrument/sensor:

When you click on an instrument or sensor, a detailed data panel opens up, offering multiple ways to interact with and analyze the sensor's readings. For example, you can select a date range to view the data on graph in a specific time frame or maximize the graph to enlarge the view. You will find multiple options on the panel as mentioned below. 

• Date Range Selection: It enables choosing specific time periods in order to analyze trends and viewing historical data in graph form. 
• Maximize Graph : Enlarge the graph for better readability and analysis.
• Details Button : Access a new section with comprehensive sensor data. Sensor-specific information includes: Graphs, data history, documents, annotations.
• Add Annotation : Click on the graph to place a note. Write your annotation and save it, it will appear directly on the graph.
• Download CSV : Export sensor data for the selected time period in CSV format.
• Three Dots Menu : it gives you below options
  • • Split fields help you to view each parameter in separate graphs.

• • • You can view Minimum, Maximum and Average points on the graph.
    
  • Shows line and textures on graph.

         

• Instrument Graph Window:
  • It allows users to add multiple instruments on the same graph to view all the data together.
  
   
  • Users can toggle parameters for tailored views, which means you can also select or deselect parameters of the same sensor to customize the graph view.

Understanding Instrument Icon Colors for Sensor Alerts

Instrument icon colors provide a quick visual cue to help identify the status of a sensor. These colors are linked to thresholds you've configured and allow you to respond more effectively to changing conditions.

To learn how to set up thresholds and customize alerts, refer to the article: Setting up Alerts.

What Each Color Represents

Each icon color corresponds to a specific alert level:

• Here's an example of how each color can represent a different alert level.
