9. Entity/counter selector

Capture d’écran 2022-04-25 à 16.20.48In order for the requested analyses to be relevant, they must be told which entity(ies) and/or counter(s) they should focus on. To do this, you must use the global entity selector at the bottom of the grey area on the left of the JOOL interface.

This selector can operate in two modes; the 'favourites' mode which lists the entities and counters that have been marked as favourites by the logged in user, and the 'full' mode which displays the full views, containing the channels to which the user has access.

The star and table buttons at the top right of the selector switch allow you to switch between the two modes.

 

  • Favourites Mode

Lists only those entities and counters that have been marked as "favourites" for the logged-in user.

  • Full mode

Resumes the views containing the entities and counters to which the logged-in user has access.

A) Full Mode

In the "full" mode, entities and counters are organised in views, configurable by METRON ENERGY MANAGEMENT (JOOL) administrators. At the top of this "full" mode, there is a drop-down menu to change the view displayed.

Capture d’écran 2022-04-25 à 16.32.57Also in "full" mode, the small cup-shaped button at the top right of the selector allows you to set the currently displayed view as the user's default view. This is the view that will be opened first each time the user logs on.

Capture d’écran 2022-04-25 à 16.33.58The button with the two arrows in a circle forces a reload of the displayed view. This can sometimes be useful when changing the definition of views and wanting to update the display.

Capture d’écran 2022-04-25 à 16.34.03Finally, the magnifying glass button opens a search field, which will filter the current view to keep only the entities and counters matching the filter.

Below the name of each filter result, a dark grey line will appear, indicating the path to that result in the current view.

 

B) All modes

Capture d’écran 2022-04-25 à 16.34.07For each counter or entity, to the right of its name, there is a small "info" symbol which opens the file for this entity in the main workspace. This sheet will contain all the information related to it and will allow editing it if necessary.

 

C) Make a global selection 

Once the desired entities/counters have been found in the favourites or in the views (possibly via a search), you can then click on their names to make a global selection.

A selected entity will have its name displayed in bold in the selector, and a number will appear to the right of the title at the top of the selector, counting the number of objects in the current global selection.

A single click on the name of an entity will clear the current selection and replace it with the entity in question. A double-click will add the entity to the selection, without removing the other entities already selected.

The selection made here will be a global selection. This is the selection which will be used by default in all tools which will be opened later (as is also the case for the global temporal context). This selection can later be overwritten by a local selection, specific to each analysis (see, in the description of the workspace).

If one or more analyses are open when the global selection is changed, the local selections of each open analysis (displayed in the workspace) will be replaced by the new global selection.
