Firstly, you will want to set up your dashboard - for a general guide to setup this up see here.
Step by Step Guide
Add Widgets to your Dashboard
To enable you to get started quickly and easily, we have created a dashboard library, where you can pick pre-built widgets that are specific to the use case you are employing.
Widgets are customized graphs that sit within your overall dashboard. Different widgets are relevant for different use cases.
Once you have added your dashboard, you are ready to add widgets using the "Add Widget" button.
Configuring your Widgets
Door monitoring uses Proximity sensors to detect if a door has been opened or closed, so you will need to select Proximity Count from the available Widgets.
Select the sensors you would like to visualize. If you select a building, all the sensors in all floors will be included; If you select a floor, only sensors in that floor will be included. The number in (brackets) denotes the number of proximity sensors in the displayed building or floor
Select a date range you would like to see the data for. This will automatically default to the last 7 days if you do not select a date range. You can also select the date range on a rolling basis by clicking the "Date range" field. This is also where you could also choose to exclude weekends, or only select working hours, for example.
Select your preferred display options. This is where you can select the data frequency (hourly, daily, weekly or monthly)

Understanding how we calculate proximity for widgets
We look at total opens (i.e. 100) but you divide it in half to get true numbers. One time going in and another closing behind the person. So if that person then leaves, the door is opened and closed again which is 2 more counts.
In addition, keep in mind, there are no implications based on the number of times a door is opened - instead, it depends on the default state of the door. E.g. if the door is open by default when not in use, then you want to monitor how many times it's closed. If it's closed by default, you want to measure how many times it opens.
Hints and Tips:
Avoid using hourly data with periods of time greater than 2 weeks - the graph might have too much information and that might obscure the insights.
The widget will be created with the name Proximity Count - hover your cursor over the name and click the pencil icon to rename it to something more memorable and click “Enter”
