A dashboard is a customizable page that presents portfolio, building, or equipment-level data to address a set of use cases. A dashboard is made up of customizable widgets, each with a specific use case. Dashboards can be named, saved, and shared with others in the platform.
View dashboards
When you first onboard to Noda Energy, you should be provided with a set of standard dashboards tailored to your organization's specific use cases. You can also view standard building-level dashboards by navigating to any individual building's landing page.
To view a list of your dashboards, expand the My Dashboards section in the top left of the left navigation menu.
Create dashboards
To create your own dashboard, click on the New Dashboard button. You will be prompted to give your dashboard a title.
Then, click on the Add Widget button at the top of the page. This will open the widget menu, allowing you to select from a list of available widget types. You can also filter by widget category (ADM, Comfort, Energy, Equipment, Support) to narrow the list.
Once you select your desired widget type, you will be prompted to select widget settings (ex. buildings, meters, energy type, time period) that are specific on the selected widget.
Once the widget is created, you can click on the three-dot menu in the top right to edit, delete, or export as CSV.
You can add an unlimited number of widgets to a dashboard. These widgets can be resized by dragging the bottom left corner, or rearranged by dragging and dropping. Any changes you make to the dashboard will be automatically saved.
Share dashboards
By default, any custom dashboard you create will only be accessible to you. You can click on the three-dot menu next to the dashboard name in the left navigation bar in order to rename, delete, or share the dashboard with other Noda users.
If you wish to share the dashboard, you can either create a copy for the recipients to get their own editable version of the dashboard, or you can share a view-only link so that any changes you make will be reflected.
