This release brings a new Add-ons button to the TimeView toolbar, so you can apply chart add-ons to every charted device at once instead of configuring each one separately.

Bulk Chart Add-ons in TimeView
What changed
Until now, chart add-ons - overlays, data-quality markers, and power-derived metrics - could only be turned on one device at a time, from each device's Chart series add-ons panel. If you had several devices charted, you had to repeat the same setup for every one of them. A new Add-ons button in the TimeView toolbar now lets you apply add-ons to every charted device in a single action.
Why it matters
If you regularly chart multiple devices together, you no longer need to open each device's panel one by one to turn on the same overlay or correction marker. Set it once from the toolbar and it applies everywhere it's supported - and any device you add to the chart afterward picks it up automatically. Available on every package, not just Optimize.
The New Add-ons Button
A new Add-ons button sits in the TimeView toolbar, next to the measurement-type selector. When one or more add-ons are active, the button shows a badge with the total count selected (for example, Add-ons 4).
Menu Groups: Quality, Power Quality, and Generation
Clicking Add-ons opens a menu organized into three groups:
- Quality - Bulk, Auto correction, RSSI, plus THD and Sag & Swell events, both shown with a Soon label since they aren't active yet.
- Power Quality (Pan-42) - Apparent power (kVA), marked Computed, Power factor (PF), and Reactive power (kVAr).
- Generation (Pan-42) - Energy export and Carbon export- Coming Soon.
Each group shows its own count badge once at least one of its items is checked (for example, Quality 2), and a Clear all link appears at the top-right of the menu once anything anywhere in it is selected. A footer note at the bottom of the menu reads: “To adjust a single device, open its chart series add-ons from the legend.”
Power Quality and Generation: What They Need to Apply
Power Quality items are for the Power measurement type on a PAN-42 device. Generation items are for a bidirectional PAN-42 device on a matching measurement type. Both groups stay visible and their items stay selectable no matter what you currently have charted - but each carries a reminder of what it needs:
- Power Quality: "Select Pan-42 devices with Power measurement to use these metrics."
- Generation: "Select bidirectional Pan-42 devices with matching measurement to use these metrics."- Coming Soon.
If your current selection doesn't match, you can still check the box - it just won't have anything to show until your selection does.
Applying Add-ons to All Your Devices
Checking an item in the Add-ons menu applies it to every charted device that supports it; Pan-42 only items apply only to your charted PAN-42 devices. A few behaviors to know:
- New devices inherit your selections. Once you've turned an add-on on in bulk, any device you add to the chart afterward gets it automatically, where supported.
- Mixed state. If an add-on is already on for some of your charted devices but not others - for example, because you set it individually from the legend before this release - its checkbox shows a dash instead of a check. Clicking it turns the add-on on for every device.
- Clear all removes every add-on from every device in one click.
Add-ons in the Legend
Add-ons you apply - whether in bulk or per device - show up in the Legend panel as grouped rows underneath each device, labeled by group and count - for example, Quality (2): Bulk, Auto correction.

Adjusting a Single Device
The per-device Chart series add-ons panel - opened from the legend, as before - still works the same way, and now shows anything you applied in bulk as already selected. Uncheck an item there to remove it for that one device only, without affecting the rest of your chart. See Chart Series Add-ons & PAN-42 Metrics for the full panel reference. Statistics, Thresholds, and Overrides stay per-device only - they aren't part of the new bulk Add-ons menu.
One Fewer Stop in the Measurement Menu
Previously, when Power was your selected measurement type on a PAN-42 device, a Power add-ons subsection inside the Show By / measurement-type dropdown let you turn on Apparent power, Power factor, and Reactive power from there. That subsection is gone - those three metrics live only in the new Power Quality group described above. The Energy export and Carbon export metrics will be released soon in TimeView, and have moved the same way, into the new Generation group.
Clearer Descriptions for Bulk and Auto Correction
The explanations shown for Bulk and Auto correction - in both the new Add-ons menu and the existing per-device Chart series add-ons panel - have been rewritten so the two are easier to tell apart:
| Marker | Description |
|---|---|
| Bulk | Real readings delivered late from bridge storage. When a bridge loses its connection, it stores measurements locally and re-sends them in a bulk transfer once the link is restored. These are genuine sensor readings, not estimates - the marker only tells you they arrived late, after a communication gap. |
| Auto correction | Estimated values generated to fill gaps. When a measurement is missed or detected as invalid, the system fills it in by estimation or interpolation so your totals and trends stay continuous. These points are calculated, not measured, so treat them as lower-confidence than real readings. |
