Charting
The Charting widget displays quantitative attributes from a data source as a graphical representation. It allows end users to visualize and observe possible patterns and trends from raw data.
Basic Chart
Use this widget to create a simple column, line or area chart with multiple time-series data.
Examples include:
Comparing system performance
Monitoring equipment trends
Analyzing comfort or sustainability benchmark performance
Examples below show the Basic Chart Widget Configuration entry fields and resultant effect on the widget displayed.
*Widget Title, Y Axis, Configuration of Data Streams, and Global Date Range Setpoint (GDRS) are foundational features in widgets that ensure usability and integration. Further information on these features can be found in Widgets Introduction.
Background Color Range Defines a set of colors applied to the chart's background, highlighting specific data ranges. Colors can be selected through the color selector, HEX code or RGB code.
Range Name: A label identifying a specific data range or segment within the chart.
Axis: Represents the reference lines (Y) used to plot and interpret data on the chart.
Start: Specifies the beginning value or point of a data range on the Y axis
End: Specifies the ending value or point of a data range on the Y axis.
Color: The specific color assigned to the data range background for the visualization. Colors can be selected through the color selector, HEX code or RGB code.
String Chart
Use this for a 'Basic Chart' which uses strings rather than numerical values on the y-axis. A string chart widget is ideal for visualizing and tracking categorical or state-based data over time.
Examples include:
Tracking operational performance
Monitoring equipment status
Visualizing alarm or fault states
Monitoring access and security
Tracking state changes over time

State Name Converter A feature that translates raw state values (e.g. numeric or coded data) into meaningful, readable state names for display on the string chart.
Stacked Chart
Use this for a 'Basic Chart' which allows y-axis data to be stacked. A stacked chart widget is particularly useful for visualizing the contribution of individual components to a total value.
Examples include:
Resource consumption and usage breakdown
Site energy, water and gas comparison
Occupancy trends
Performance benchmarking
Cost breakdown

Series Type Determines which data belongs to which stacked column (up to 2x stacked columns).
Peak Demand
Find the highest power value within the time-series data stream and compare this with the overall highest value. This chart helps visualize periods of highest demand or usage, providing insights into trends and potential cost optimization opportunities.
Examples include:
Energy and resource consumption optimization
Network traffic analysis
Data center resource system stability
System benchmarking performance

Select Display Icon Allows users to choose an icon to visually represent specific data points or conditions on the chart.
Target Sets a reference or goal value on the chart for comparison against actual data.
Text Provides the option to display descriptive labels, annotations, or additional information on the chart.
Baseline Compare
Compare selected period of a time-series data stream against previous period of same data stream.
Examples include:
Energy, water and gas efficiency monitoring
Building systems performance comparison
Carbon emissions tracking
Occupancy and space utilization monitoring
Examples below show the Baseline Compare Chart Widget Configuration entry fields and resultant effect on the widget displayed.

Previous Period Color Specifies the color used to represent data from the previous period on the chart, enabling easy comparison with the current period. Colors can be selected through the color selector, HEX code or RGB code.
Condition Duration
Use this condition widget to capture condition-based monitoring of any data stream. Ie. fault analysis, people counting, alarms raised.
Examples include:
Equipment runtime monitoring
Energy, water and gas demand monitoring
System fault or alarm monitoring
Water leak detection
Occupancy patterns
Environmental condition monitoring
Examples below show the Condition Duration Chart Widget Configuration entry fields and resultant effect on the widget displayed.

Duration Rule Defines the logic or condition to evaluate a specific time duration (e.g. greater than, less than).
Duration Rule Value The binary value used to display on the chart for comparison (e.g. 0 or 1).
Duration Text Custom text displayed to describe or label the duration when the condition is met (e.g. Online or Offline).
Column Range
Use this column range widget to show the min, avg, and max value for any selected data stream. Typically used for capturing consumption data sets, temperature changes, voltage range and equipment runtime or fault status.
Examples include:
HVAC range monitoring
Energy, water and gas usage patterns
Occupancy behaviors
Building energy consumption comparison
