If the name of the Dashboards is known, the Dashboard can simply be selected in the start screen of the Evaluation area.

All Dashboards

Clicking the field "All Dashboards" opens a new window

The Device/Plant Overview can be used to navigate to the individual Dashboards in this area.

The Dashboards can be found at the site/device location that was selected in the Dashboard creation process!

The list on the right half of the screen shows all Dashboards that are within or below the selected site/device location.

Evaluate Dashboard

After navigating to the Dashboard to be opened, the Dashboard opens by left-clicking the respective menu item or list entry of the Dashboards.

When moving the mouse-over individual sources in the upper-right frame, each source on the top right, and you will see details about that source.

Process Value Table

The Process Value Table gives an overview of all available values of the various mapped channels for the Dashboard.

When scrolling in the table with the mouse wheel or the scroll bar at the right edge, a window opens with the following query:

"Use mouse pointer movement in chart to scroll the table?"

If the answer to this query is "Yes", the table automatically displays the values that were hovered over in the chart. This also works the other way around, so that in the chart a guide line shows the row of the table in which the mouse pointer is located

Clicking with the left mouse button closes this function.

It is possible to set a marker in the chart for individual values. Left-clicking on a table row activates the marker for this value. Using the slider in the Process Value Table, it is possible to jump from one marker to another.
