How to use the building dashboard
Overview is the building's dashboard — the first page you see when you open a building. It has two layers: KPIs at the top with key figures, and widgets below with graphs and lists you choose yourself.
The dashboard is personal. Your setup follows your user, and your colleagues may have completely different widgets on the same building.
How to open the dashboard
Go to Overview in the sidebar at building level. The help text sums the page up: Review key parameters for the building.
The KPIs
The KPIs are the figures at the top. You choose which ones appear, from four groups:
Group | Examples |
|---|---|
Consumption KPIs | Energy use this year, per m², last 30 days, Baseload lowest 3 hours, Energy use during operating hours last week |
Indoor climate KPIs | Max/min/mean indoor temperature, CO₂, VOC, radon, relative humidity |
Building management KPIs | Open tasks, Overdue tasks, Total building area |
Climate & weather KPIs | Outdoor temperature, Max wind speed, Building activity |
Press Control+Shift+S to choose KPIs. See How to customize the dashboard.
Note: Two KPIs are worth recognizing because they say more about operation than total consumption does. Baseload lowest 3 hours is consumption while the building sits idle — that's where unnecessary operation shows up. Energy use during operating hours shows what share of consumption actually falls inside opening hours; if it's low, something is running when nobody is there.
The widgets
The widgets are the larger panels below the KPIs:
Widget | Shows |
|---|---|
Energy consumption this week | the week's consumption, also degree-day corrected or temperature corrected according to ET model |
Water consumption this week | the week's water use |
Accumulated energy and Accumulated water | consumption summed over time |
Alarms and Incidents | open incidents — No deviations when all is well |
Notes | notes on the building |
Technical systems - key figures | key figures from the installations |
Certifications | the building's certifications, marked Expires soon where relevant |
Contacts | the contact list |
Tenant | tenant information |
Weather | weather data |
Electricity price | spot price |
Solar energy production | output from solar installations |
Energy flexing | flex status |
On top of that, analyses, gauges and heatmaps you've built yourself can be added as widgets — see How to create a gauge and How to create a heatmap.
How to add and move widgets
- Add widget — the plus icon on the dashboard
- Drag and drop to change the order
If removal fails, the message says Couldn't remove the widget. Try again.
How to share a widget with others
A widget can be Published. Published widgets show as Published and land in the Shared widgets category, where others can add them to their own dashboard. With Set as default for roles, the widget becomes part of the default setup for a role.
This is how one energy adviser can build a single good analysis widget and hand it to the whole operations organization, instead of everyone building the same thing themselves.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my dashboard empty?
You haven't set anything up yet. Run the setup — see How to customize the dashboard.
Why does a widget say "No data available for the selected filters"?
The widget has no data for what you've selected. The most common cause is that the building lacks the meter the widget is built on.
Why are several KPIs missing values?
Check the floor area in the building settings — every per-m² KPI needs it. See How to change building settings.
Do my colleagues see my setup?
No, the setup is your own. To give it to others, publish the widget.
What if the page fails?
The message Something went wrong. Try again. with a Retry button. On a setup failure: Your existing dashboard has not been changed.
Tip!
Choose KPIs that demand action, not KPIs that are interesting. Overdue tasks and Baseload change what you do today; Total building area doesn't, and that space is better spent on something you actually follow up.
