The New Timeview
Table of Contents
The New Timeview 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 Timeview 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.

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 if PAN-42 sensored devices/phases are selected. 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.
Schedules
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 choose any schedule from the Account settings to put onto the graph as a layer.
Period
The period options available are 6 Hours, 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, and 1 year. The period will show the latest data from the selected period option. For example: if 1 year is selected in April 2025, the data will show April 2024 - April 2025, instead of the data of the year 2025.
- 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.
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.
