13. Main workspace - Analysis results

At the top right, the button in the shape of a cup allows you to choose the analysis that will be opened by default on connection. This choice is specific to each user and will be saved in their user preferences. (This choice can also be preconfigured by the database administrator).

It contains a search field to find an entity .

The magnifying glass will search the currently displayed view ,and the small planet will search the entire data base of existing entities/counters.

The general "Uncheck All" button at the top allows you to clear the current selection of entities at once.

Below this search field is a menu bar listing all available views. These views are used to sort the entities/counters in order to be able to find them easily to make a selection. In addition to the available views, there are also fixed lists, which are useful for making up a selection.

• Selected items: the list of currently selected entities, for a quick summary, and possibly to easily remove entities from the selection.

• Favourites: the list of the logged-in user's favourite entities.

• Views: each additional list is a pre-configured view to which the logged-in user has access. These are the same views as those available in the global entity selector at the bottom left of the METRON ENERGY MANAGEMENT (JOOL) window.

Below this banner of views is the chosen view, organised in columns. Each entity is represented by a small block containing its icon, name and reference as well as several buttons.

When you expand the next levels of the view, you get several columns in the selector. The entity in the left-hand column which has been expanded is grayed out for greater visibility, and in the next column, we see its children (in the active view, not necessarily its children in the sense of the real tree structure).

Each column also has "Check All" and "Uncheck All" buttons to select all entities in that column at once or to remove them from the active selection.

Note: deploying a 2nd entity will replace the children of the first entity by those of the new one. It is therefore not possible to display the children of several entities at the same time.
In order not to lose track of the entities already selected, even if they are checked in non-deployed sub- views, a small number appears at the top right of each entity for which sub-entities have been selected.
In the example above, the small "2" at the top right of the first site's box indicates that there are 2 subentities checked in the descendants of this entity, in this case EL02022 and EL02023.

C. Display of tools

Whether a single widget is displayed or a dashboard containing several, each widget can be manipulated by the user according to its type. For example, it will be possible to sort the columns of a widget displaying a table or zoom in on a widget displaying a graph.

Graphics

The graphs in JOOL are presented in the following frame:

The staircase or inverted staircase display is designed in a similar way. METRON ENERGY MANAGEMENT (JOOL) takes the list of points to be displayed, and draws a horizontal line from each point to the next.

• The staircase display stretches the value horizontally to the right. This case is, for example, used for properties, where a value at a given time is considered valid until it is replaced by a new value later.

• The inverted staircase display stretches it to the left. This case is used for consumptions, where a consumption over a time interval is measured at the end of the interval but therefore represents the consumption over the past time interval.

Circular gauges / Performance gauges

Presented as speedometers, these gauges (2 different
graphic types) allow an intuitive visualisation of certain values in relation to a range of normal operating values.

Again, the colours, terminals and display value are configurable by METRON ENERGY MANAGEMENT (JOOL) administrators.

Thermometer gauges

Presented as thermometers, these gauges allow intuitive visualisation of certain values in relation to a range of normal operating values.

The configuration is similar to the circular gauges and is under the control of the METRON ENERGY MANAGEMENT (JOOL) administrators.

Cards

METRON ENERGY MANAGEMENT (JOOL) can also be used to display a selection of channels on a geographical map, to visualise the progress of an installation project for example, or to quickly check the status of certain parameters deemed relevant by the client.

Points can be positioned on the map by assigning a colour, size and shape.

Generally, colour is used to represent a qualitative value (performance of a site, progress of a project...) whereas size is generally associated with a quantitative value (total consumption, surface of the site, number of inhabitants...).

The form can be used to identify the type of site for example.

When hovering, a tooltip displays certain characteristics of the site, chosen by the METRON ENERGY MANAGEMENT (JOOL) administrators.

Data tables (grids)

METRON ENERGY MANAGEMENT (JOOL) can also be used to display tables of data directly. These tables can come from static data stored in the database, or from spreadsheets based on consumption data for example.

A table is presented in the following form:

• At the bottom of the table, we can see an aggregation row, containing the aggregated values of the columns for which this has been configured. In the example above, the REFERENCE column is aggregated into a count, which allows us to see that there are 29 rows in the table, and the VALUE column is aggregated into a sum, which shows us that the total consumption for the observed period is 1182.56.

• By dragging and dropping the title of each column, it can be moved to rearrange the order of the columns.

• Clicking on a column header will apply a sort to that column. A further click will force the sorting to be reversed, and a third click will remove the sorting.

• The small symbol to the right of each column heading allows you to apply a filter to display only rows with certain values.

• Finally, a drag & drop of a column heading in the area just above the headings will group the rows of the table based on the value of the chosen column. It is possible to perform several successive groupings. For example, we would have a table with the consumptions of all the meters of a site, and this table would contain a column indicating the resource measured by the meter. Grouping according to this column will result in all the electricity meters being grouped in one section, then all the gas meters and so on.

A grouped table then looks like this:

We have grouped the rows here according to the "WEEKDAY" column, so we have a group of rows per value in this column, and for each group, we find all the rows associated with it, as well as a partial aggregation row carrying out the counts on the group only. The global aggregation line is always found at the very bottom of the table.

In addition to the classic values (numeric, text, date, etc.), the grids can also contain dynamic links to other types of objects (dashboards, invoice sheets, entity sheets, etc.) as well as action buttons allowing, for example, the generation of a credit note from an existing invoice.
