A dashboard provides an easy-to-understand display the current values from key sensors in a building. Here is an example:

This document explains how to create Dashboards. You can create one Dashboard for each building in the BMON system. Any or all of the sensors associated with the building can be displayed in the Dashboard. To create a Dashboard for a building, log into the Admin interface and navigate to the screen that allows you to edit or configure the building. More details are provided in [[this article|Adding Buildings and Sensors]] but the basic steps are:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Go to the main Home screen for the Admin Interface by clicking the `Home` link in the upper left corner of your current screen.
|
|
|
|
- Click the `Buildings` link in the left column of the `Home` screen.
|
|
|
|
- Click on the Building that you wish to add the Dashboard to.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At the very bottom of the editing page for the building should be a section for Dashboard items and the first blank Dashboard item is shown:

A Dashboard is made up of individual Widgets arranged in rows and columns. For the sample Dashboard shown above, there are 5 Widgets in the first row (a Label, two Green/Red LEDs, and two Gauges), and 4 Widgets in the second row (a Label and three Gauges). So, to create this Dashboard, you would need to enter 9 different Dashboard items for the building.
