This article offers an introduction to the Noda user interface. The specific aspects of the Noda UI are dependent on the feature set you've deployed for a particular building. If you are interested in adding a feature described here that you do not currently have in your Noda system, contact your Customer Success Manager.

The Noda user interface is organized into four hierarchical levels:

Organization determines what companies you have access to and is set when your user account is created. An organization can consist of one or more companies.

​Companies are used to segment users and shown on the left-most panel, represented by logo icons. User access can be granted at the company level, so some users will see different icons than others.
​

Portfolios are used to group buildings within a single company by region, tenant, customer or any other custom grouping. Portfolios are available within companies and can be viewed in the left navigation menu.
​

Buildings appear in a list when you expand each Portfolio in the left navigation menu. For building operators, the bulk of your work happens in the building. The remainder of this article covers each of the sections within a building.

This is the summary page where you will find the most current information for your building. Each section is called a widget and will have the recent activity. Weather details, Work Requests, and so much more. If you have IEQ Sensors, Occupancy Sensors or Energy Meters, you will find widgets with relevant information.
​

This is where the spatial modeling lives in Noda. From the navigation bar, users are presented with a list of all floors found in their building. Clicking on a floor takes you to a landing page that defaults to a zone map of a single equipment type. Use the filter drop-downs in the upper left to change the equipment and the zone type.
​

In many cases, zones may span multiple rooms on a floor. Zones are marked with a light gray border and may span across walls of the 3D floor plan.

Clicking on a zone produces a slide-out list of equipment serving that zone. Clicking on an equipment in the list will bring you to that equipment's detailed data page.
​

For Noda BMS users, the Equipment tab is likely where you will spend most of your time. This contains all the data for all equipment that has been integrated into your system. From the drop-down, you are asked to first select the type of equipment you want to drill into. The options here will be unique to the systems that your building has integrated, but they are divided along the definitions provided by the Ontology Alignment Project.

Once you select the system and/or equipment type you'd like to drill into, you will land on a table view of all equips and some top-line data about each. Included in this table are icons that activate based on various states such as Insight Active, Occupied, Alarm Active and number of open Work Requests. To change the data that shows in the columns, click the tryptic icon in the top right.
​

From the table, click anywhere within a row to open that equip's slide-out view. From the slide-out you can execute command-and-control functions, review graphics and analyze point-level data. Charts, Insights and Work Requests specific to that piece of equipment are also available in the slide-out view.

On this tab you will have the ability to view all insights for equipment and sensors within your building. An insight is created when our analytics engine finds something odd in a system, like a sensor reporting the same temperature for too long.

Click on any insight for more details. You will see a suggested step for fixing the issue, along with charts showing the occurrences and other relevant metrics, like zone temperature.

The Reports tab gives you access to a PDF overview outlining your Maintenance, Operational Summary, Indoor Air Quality, and Energy Analytics reports. You can toggle the date range for these reports by selecting your chosen dates in the dropdown in the top right of this page.

The Work Requests tab opens a running list of all Work Requests across your systems. Filtering, table data adjustments and slide-out view for details function in the same way here as they do within the rest of the tabs.
​

Work Requests are also available on Equipment pages and Insight slide-out pages.

The Charts tab allows you to visualize the data points for each equipment piece in a customizable graph format. Simply select the equipment you would like to view from the side panel and toggle which points you would like to show in the chart. From here you can select the timeframe you would like to view and export the chart into CSV or PNG formats.
