How to Use Databoards

Databoards provide access to your historical data. Databoards can be accessed by selecting the Databoard option in the left-hand sidebar menu at any Location. For more information on navigation please see How to Navigate Between Different Locations.

Using your Databoards you can choose to compare historical data in one of two ways. You can switch between these options freely. To change the selected option, click on the desired radio button in the General section on the left of the page.

Note: The parameters you configure using the processes outlined below are cached against your current Location whenever you fetch data, when you reload the page or return to the same Location’s Dashboard later, the last fetched configuration will load in again.

Location Selectors

Selecting the ‘Location Selectors’ option allows you to compare measurements at different Locations during the same period of time. You will need to:

1. Click on the Location Selectors radio button in the General Section on the left.
2. Select the relevant measurements in the General section. If you select multiple measurements they will display as separate graphs, but will all be included in the downloadable CSV.
3. Complete the Time Range & Interval section:
   1. Select a preset time range or the Custom Range option.
   2. Update the start and end dates as necessary.
   3. Select the interval at which to average values.
4. Select the Locations you wish to compare using the form in the middle of the page. Due to the potential volume of data being processed, this is limited to a maximum of 8.
   1. To add another Location for comparison, click on the [Plus icon] to the right of the first Location in the list.
   2. To remove a Location from the comparison, click on the [Minus icon] to the right of the relevant location.
   3. Note: The first Location will always start as the Location you were viewing when you navigated to the Databoard page. You cannot remove this Location but you can update it to any Location below it on the hierarchy.
   4. Note: You can compare any Location tier with any other. In other words, you can compare the average data at a Site level with the data directly from a Sensor in another Site, or any other combination of Locations, should you wish.
5. When you have configured all your desired parameters, click on the Fetch Data button on the right below the Location selection form.
   1. Note: If you cannot see this button, then there is an error in your parameter configuration. In that case, please review all steps above to ensure you have completed the necessary inputs.
6. Once the data is fetched it will be displayed as graphs on the page.
   1. Note: If you do not see a graph for a selected measurement at all, there is no data available for that measurement in the selected time range at the chosen Locations. Similarly, if you do not see a chosen Location represented on a specific graph, there is no correlated data available.
7. Should you wish to download all fetched data as a CSV, simply click on the Download button beside the Fetch Data button on the right below the Location selection form.
   1. Note: If the Download button is disabled, you have not fetched the data yet. In that case please click on the Fetch Data button and wait for the graphs to display.

Note: You can click on the Reset all fields button on the top right of the page to reset everything back to the default state.

Date Ranges

Selecting the ‘Date Ranges’ option allows you to compare measurements at the current Location across different periods of time. You will need to:

2. Select the relevant measurements in the General section. If you select multiple measurements they will display as separate graphs, but will all be included in the downloadable CSV.
3. Select the relevant Location in the Location of Interest section on the left.

   4. To add another date range for comparison, click on the [Add new location] to the right of the first date range in the list.
   5. To remove a date range from the comparison, click on the [Add new date range] to the right of the relevant date range.
