| Introduction

With Blockly, users can set up custom parameters point summary of parameters based on site needs, shifting from user to site-specific view. Moreover, Blockly would provide a visual interface where users can drag and drop blocks to construct formulas without the need for any coding knowledge. Point summary with Blockly enabled, help users to build formulas on top of the loop conditions such as calculating the delta between sensor points and setpoints, calculating chiller tonnage, etc. Some advantages include:

1. Consistent Design Patterns
Improved User Engagement: A consistent design pattern enhances user engagement, encouraging users to easily build, use, update, and share the framework.
Reduced Development Time: Reusing design components cuts design overhead, leading to quicker development cycles and cost savings.

2. Consistent Workflow
Increased Efficiency: A consistent workflow ensures users intuitively navigate, build, update, view, and share work, reducing the learning curve and enhancing efficiency.
Lower Support Cost: Clear workflow minimizes user confusion, reducing support inquiries and saving on support and training costs.

3. Consistent Builder
Faster Building Process: A consistent builder enables rapid work creation, speeding up the overall process.
Faster Development Process: Developers integrate features more quickly with a consistent builder, accelerating development time.

4. Consistent Sharing Mechanism
Increased User Engagement: Standardized sharing encourages frequent sharing, boosting user engagement.

5. User Selection Enhancement
Ownership and Personalization: Allowing users to vote and influence work selection fosters a sense of ownership and personalization, increasing engagement in the platform and encouraging ongoing creation.

The Point Summary with Blockly feature gives users scope to create and share custom point parameters easily. It includes options like liking, bookmarking, adding descriptions, and arranging items.

| Features
