The New Time View improves response times, especially in loading the device tree and graph, a more intuitive and flexible user interface, and new features include auto-refresh and the ability to expand the graph to full view for deeper analysis.

Similar to Time View, sites with generation assets, when presenting Site-Total, the graph displays two total branches: Total Consumption shows the total consumption registered by all devices, and Total Generation shows the total energy generated by all generating devices

The Filter pane on the left allows you to select up to 100 devices for display. The device consumption data is displayed graphically in the right pane.

The Search bar above the Group By allows you to search by name any of the devices.

In Group By, select how you want to organize the devices in the tree view. The top-most level of the tree view is always a site. The devices within that site are grouped by one of the following options:

Option	Description
Device Type	The device tree is organized by device types. Devices such as cooling devices, lightning and machinery are grouped together.
Zone > Panel	The device tree is organized by the device location: zones within the site and electrical panels.
Groups	View Groups according to Group type. A Group is a combination of devices forming a “virtual” device that has an operational meaning - such as a production line, belongs to a specific business/cost unit, etc.

New Time View application allows you to perform a top down analysis of a site's consumption over time. By selecting any parent element on the tree-view filter, e.g., selection of the site, or of a device category, the chart shows you the total power, energy, or cost of that device category. You can then drill down by selecting all child elements of that element (e.g., select all device types of the category). For each device, the type of sensor installed and what kind of phase/sensor configuration it has is displayed.

Using this method, when looking at the peak consumption of a site, you can easily find the device categories that consumed the majority of power during that time, then drill down to the device types that consumed the majority of power on that category, and eventually drill down to the specific devices that drove the peak consumption.

When Grouping By	Notes
Device Type	The highest level corresponds to sites. The second level corresponds to the device category – machinery, lightning, etc. The third level corresponds to the specific device type. For example, under the machinery category you may have fans, conveyors and pumps. The next level represents the individual device – for example, a specific pump or a specific fan.
Zone > Panel	The highest level corresponds to sites. The second level corresponds to the zones included in the site. For example, a zone may represent a building in a campus or a floor in a commercial building. The third level corresponds to electrical panels within each zone. The next level represents the individual device – for example, a specific pump or a specific fan within that panel.
Groups	The highest level corresponds to sites. The second level corresponds with the Group type. Each entry under the Group type corresponds with a defined Group. Right-clicking a Group will provide more options on expanding and presenting the devices composing it. When grouping by Groups: You can create new Groups or edit existing ones. The devices are not displayed by default; you will need to right-click to show the devices.

Clicking on Devices button next to the Show by dropdown menu hides the Filter pane list to give you more room to view the graph.

You can display the chart by different measures such as Power, Energy, Current or calculated Cost (if a Tariff is assigned to the site). Voltage is available for PAN-42 sensor type devices/phases are selected. Carbon is available if you provide a Carbon Factor in the Site Settings. Open the Show By drop-down list and select the measure you want to see.

Device Selection in Legend Box

Use the legend box on the right to show or hide the graph relating to it.

Click an active element to hide its graph; click it again to restore it.

Clicking on the Legend button hides the legend to give you more room to view the graph.

Layers & Default Time Ranges

Above the legend on the graph the name of the Schedule on the graph. By default it will show the site's operating calendar. Clicking on the schedule name will hide the schedule layer on the graph, just like when you click on the legend elements.

Clicking on the cog symbol in the right corner of the graph allows you to view different Layers, like choosing any schedule from the Account settings to put onto the graph as a layer.

For Optimize sites, you have a choice on what is the Default Time Range for the Period selection. Visualize has To-date Ranges as their default. Rolling ranges means the Period will be in relation to now. For example, 24 hours for Rolling Ranges would show data from the past 24 hours. To-date ranges isolate it to the calendar start of the period. For the same example as before, Today for To-date range would show the data from today's date starting at midnight til now.

Period & Calendar Date Picker

The period options available are 6 Hours, 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, and 1 year for Rolling ranges and 6 hours, Today, Week, Month, and Year for To-date ranges. For example: if 1 year is selected in April 2025, the data will show April 2024 - April 2025 for Rolling Ranges, and To-date range would show data of the year 2025.

Rolling Ranges - 1 Year

To-date Ranges - 1 Year

Click the arrows at the sides of the date on the x-axis to move the date by whole periods. For example, if you select 30 days, each click moves the period by roughly one month back and forth.

Click on the Calendar next to the Year Period option to open the Date Picker

The Date picker grants you the ultimate customization of the Period for The New Time View application. You can select a range of dates or data from Since or Last of a specific date as well as time. The date format is Day/Month/Full Year and time is military time format. Once a date is set in any field, a calendar preview shows up to the right so if Date/Range is selected and one date is set, feel free to scroll and click on the completing date. Click on the arrows in the right corner to navigate by month forward or backward. Click on the circle between the arrows to return to today's month.

Properties Viewing

Many elements in the device tree (sites, zones, panels, devices) have properties that can be easily viewed or modified. Every user can view the properties. Right–click a device or the phase and select Show device configuration.
