| Overview
The L2-certified installers can now create Tables to visualise parameter data on the heatmap pages.
A table allows a user to create customized tables to
- View the statuses of zones/systems.
- Overview of a system/zone.
- Establish comparisons between systems/zones.
- Faster troubleshooting of any discrepancies in a system/zone.
The advantages of a Tables are:
- Hassle-free configuration for support users and easy views for Facilisight users
- More Haystack flexibility through the usage of tags.
- User-friendly approach through editable parameter names.
| Add a Table
To add a table from the Facilisight site dashboard screen.
- Click Tables.
The tables section is displayed, as below.
- Click Add Table to add a table to the site dashboard page.
The tables created under different categories are listed under the corresponding options.
- Created by Me - Tables created and shared by the logged-in installer
- Shared by Others - Tables created and shared by other installers.
- Select the tables you wish to add to the heatmap page.
- Click elsewhere in the screen to exit the window.
You can visualize the selected table under the corresponding section in the heatmap page, as below.
| Types of Tables
The Tables are categorised into three types depending on visibility. They are as follows:
- Tables created by me
- Tables shared by others
Table created by Me:
The Tables shared by me are the ones that are created by the signed-in users and shared with other users. This is visible to all Installers and Facilisight users once shared.
Tables shared by Others:
The Tables shared by others are the ones that are created by other users as shared tables. This is visible to all Installers and Facilisight users once shared.
The Table section displays any table created and enabled already for the site, as shown below.
| Create a Table
To create a new Table.
- Click Add Table, and Click Create New Table to create a new table
The Table builder is displayed.
Table Builder
The Table builder provides the user with options to search, select, and add points, and conditions on point values, and define the visualized value.
The following table explains the various fields displayed on the page:
Field |
Description |
||||||
Table Name |
You can use this field to set a name to the table created. Note: The table names cannot contain any empty names or special characters at the beginning. Allowed special characters are hyphen (-), underscore (_), space (), hash (#) and percentage (%). |
||||||
Select Build Type |
You can use this option to select a build type, used to build the Table.
|
||||||
Select Table Type |
You can use this option to select a specific Table Type.
|
||||||
| Shared/Personal |
You can use this option to set a table as a personal table or a shared Table. Note: A table can be shared or can be viewed as a personal table. A personal table can be viewed only by the user who has created the table whereas a shared table can be viewed by other users. |
||||||
| Cancel | You can use this option to exit the builder. | ||||||
| Create a New Table | You can use this option to create a new table. |
Add Points
The points filtered using the tags are all auto-selected. with the point name being a combination of the tags used to filter, as below.
- Use the edit icon to edit the point name as per the requirement.
Define Condition
- Click Add Condition to add conditions to the points selected and define the point as below.
Note: You can add up to 40 conditions and 100 parameters.
- Click the Palette option to select a colour & option for the point condition and definition.
- Select the No Condition checkbox if no condition is to be applied to a point.
- Click Add Parameter to add more parameters to the table
- Uncheck No Conditions & Click Add Conditions to add conditions to the newly added points.
- Enter the why and what for the table.
Note: It is a best practice to leave the point name at the combination of the tags, which will be a reference for the other users to replicate or reuse the query.
- Click Create New Table to confirm the table creation.
Note: Once Tables have been created, they are listed in alphabetical order in the table list.
Enabling Write Capability for Points Added
The write functionality for added points allows users to view and write values at different levels in a priority array based on selection. It also allows for bulk edit of values for a parameter.
- Select the check box Enable Write at Level to make the point added writable.
- Select the priority level at which the writing of the point added should happen when the write is carried out using the table writing capability.
For more application-specific table templates, refer to Table Templates
| Applying the Table for View on Site Dashboard
- Check / Select the tables from the list to apply it for viewing in the site dashboard.
| Creating Physical Points using Custom Query
Custom query builder can be used to create a zone physical points table as shown below:
The available physical points can be observed for currently available device types like SmartNode, HelioNode, SmartStat, and HyperStat.
It should be noted that hierarchy does not work for physical points when custom query is used.
| Editing a Table
The parameters in a table can be modified according to the required data to be captured for the devices included for a zone or a system.
- Click on the Gear
icon for an existing table.
Or
- Click on the edit icon from the tables list to further edit the table.
A warning message window pops up as shown below, with information about the number of sites using the table and the consequences of editing the table.
- Click Continue to edit.
The Edit table window opens for edits.
- Make the necessary changes.
- Click Update table to add the updated parameters to the table.
- Click Create a New table to copy the changes to a new table.
- Click Cancel to cancel any changes made to the table.
The table is updated successfully.
Note: Only a personal Table or a table created by me can be edited to make any specific changes. Editing a table is not applicable to Table shared by others.
| Export, Transpose, View Conditions & Remove from View
- Click on the Gear
icon in the table menu to download and export the table.
The table can be exported in Excel & PNG formats.
Transpose
A Table can be transposed to view the parameters in a row-to-column or column-to-row format.
- Click on the Gear
icon in the table menu to transpose a table.
Remove Table from View
- Uncheck the table to remove it from the view.
Note: Once a table is removed from view, it can be viewed again by clicking the checkbox against the table dropdown.
| Deleting a Table
A table can only be deleted if created by self. This is applicable only to the tables created by me and the Personal tables.
Note: A user cannot delete a table shared by others.
- Click the edit icon from the table list for the table that needs to be deleted.
- Click Delete to delete the Table.
A warning message window pops up as shown below, with information about the number of sites using the table and the consequences of deleting the table.
- Click Delete to confirm deletion.
| Table Hierarchy View
The hierarchy view is a feature in the table that enables the user to visualize the information in the table in a hierarchical manner.
- Enable the Hierarchy radio button for the same as below.
Note: For custom query tables where tables have a combination of parameters corresponding to zone/system/building, a hierarchy will not be available.
| Bulk Edit Writable Parameters
The tables also provide the capability to bulk edit the writable parameters when writable parameters are added to a table.
It is also capable of defining any parameter as a writable parameter, as shown in the sections above.
This capability would let support users easily edit writeable parameters from the table at once, rather than from the other section in the internal portal many times.
This is enabled by a paradigm similar to what was used in the site explorer tool of the portal.
- Select the check box View Priority Array & Edit Parameter Value, to view the writeable parameters, and their priority array information.
Once the check box is selected, all the applicable writable parameters in the table display an edit icon as above. For the tuner parameters, the priority array information is displayed.
- Click the edit icon next to a writable parameter to access the writable parameter bulk edit window, as below.
The writable parameter bulk edit window provides the user with the following capabilities.
- Fill in the value change you wish to write for the parameter in the value field.
- Enter the duration for which you want the change in value to be valid for, in the hours, minutes, and seonds fields.
- Select a particular parameter to push the value change to
- or select multiple parameters to push the value change to.
- Click update to confirm the writable parameter value change.
The override confirmation window pops up.
- Click Override to confirm the change.
The update successful message is displayed, and the writable parameter value change is reflected in the table as below.
Note:
- For certain parameters like conditioning mode, schedule status, valid input is to be given to avoid CCU crashes. There are no validations in place with respect to the value input for a parameter.
- Priority array tables would be cleared if the user provides null values or provides values for a specified duration.
