Specifications

You can view and analyze trend data as a graph or a
table in a display panel of the Site Management Portal
UI. The trend values give an indication of system
performance, allowing you to identify opportunities for
efficiency improvements and develop predictive
maintenance strategies. All trend features support copying
to the clipboard for use in another program.
For a more detailed analysis of system-wide operational
performance, you can create a Trend Study. Trend
Studies provide a powerful management tool to analyze
and compare current and historical operational data.
Trend Studies also help you identify potential problems
before they occur, diagnose current and past alarm
conditions, optimize energy consumption, and reduce
maintenance costs.
The Trend Viewer allows you to view multiple trend
extensions based on the ad hoc selection of items from
the results of a global search or from the navigation tree.
This feature provides another option in trending.

User Views and Tailored
Summaries
User views are user-defined navigation trees that contain
references to selected items found in the All Items
navigation tree. You can create user views to group
commonly used items and graphics together. You can
also assign user views to particular user groups, such as
building security and energy management.
Expanding the capability of user views further, Tailored
Summaries use table-based user views to provide
summary views of Metasys system items (Figure 10).
Figure 10: Tailored Summary
These summaries consist of sortable rows and columns
tailored to contain information of your choosing. Tailored
Summaries allow you to view, modify, and command
large quantities of similar data in tabular format. Similar
data, for example, may be all VAV boxes on a floor of a
building, showing current temperatures, setpoints, flows,
and minimum and maximum settings. Using this
information, you can quickly analyze facility operation
and troubleshoot for possible problems.
To help you get started with Tailored Summaries, a set
of pre-built Summary Definitions can be imported into
your site. These summary definitions fit into three
categories: Configuration, Diagnostic, and Monitoring.
The Device and Network Diagnostics definitions are
intended for site administrators. The Mechanical
Equipment definitions with links to graphics and Key Point
definitions are useful for service professionals.
Tailored Summaries are configurable in the Site
Management Portal UI, but available in both the Site
Management Portal and Ready Access Portal UIs.
Reports
Reports offer a snapshot view of the current exception
situations and summary data in the entire site or selected
area of the site and allow you to locate points that need
attention. You define the desired reports, and the
ADS/ADX displays the resulting data in the Report Viewer
on the Site Management Portal UI.
The following reports are available:
• Alarm Report - points in the alarm state
• Offline Report - devices that do not respond
• Disabled Report - alarming that has been disabled
• Override Report - operator overridden points
• Supervisory Override Report - points with the Override
flag set to True
