Flexible handling
While the Health Dashboard only displays open events and presents a snapshot of the current system status, the Timeline is a tool to filter and view the history of all events that have occurred. Furthermore, the timeline offers the possibility to make entries yourself, to comment on existing entries and to add pictures or documents.
Manual timeline entries
Manual site timeline entries can be created directly on the site. To be found in the site list on the right as a sub-item “Site Timeline”.
New site timeline entries are displayed as notifications in the message centre:
Upcoming: Automated timeline entries
In the near future, we can expect a particularly practical feature, namely the automated creation of timeline entries. The success of Microtronics systems is based on the collection and visualisation of a large number of data points. In order not to lose the overview in this amount of data and to keep an eye on the relevant variables, the timeline offers the simple possibility of making relevant limit values visible parallel to the extended alarming system. At site level, it will soon be possible to create a threshold trigger for a data channel easily and without programming knowledge. When the threshold of this data channel is reached, an entry is automatically created in the timeline. Of course, the existing alarm module will also learn to create entries in the timeline.
Visible in evaluation graphics
For all enthusiastic users of our evaluation graphics: The new timeline is also integrated here. All timeline events can be made visible as a separate data dimension on the evaluation graphics. In addition, new entries can also be created on the timeline in the evaluation graphic.
From theory to practice
