Formatting Trend Monitoring Dashboards in Organizer Topic

[Allison Buenemann]

Summary: 

I want to create a process variable monitoring dashboard to view the trends over the last day against various threshold values. 

 

Solution: 

To create the monitoring charts to be included in the dashboard, follow the methods described in this seeq.org post:

 

Then follow the steps below to create your dashboard. 

Step 1.  Create a new Organizer Topic. From the Seeq home screen, click the "New" drop down and select "Organizer Topic".

Step 2. Use the "Insert Table" button to insert a table with an many row and columns as you would like charts in your dashboard. 

Step 3.  Use the table formatting options (available by clicking into the cell in the table or highlighting multiple cells) to merge the top row to create a title row if desired. 

From the table formatting options, you can also change the background color of the cell. 

Step 4. Click into the cell that you want to insert your Seeq trend into and, with your cursor in the cell, use the Seeq Q logo to insert Seeq content. Alternatively, insert your content anywhere in your Topic and cut and paste the content into the correct cell in the table. 

Step 5.  Repeat step 4 for each monitoring chart you want to view in your dashboard. 

Step 6.  Create a custom date range to apply to the Seeq content in your dashboard. This example shows how to create a daily date range that reports from 6AM the previous day to 6AM the current day, with a daily auto-update frequency to ensure the correct dates are always displayed. 

Click the + icon in the Date Ranges panel to open a new custom date range window. Then click the + sign next to "Optionally choose a capsule within the time window to define the date range". 

Create a new periodic condition of Daily duration. Optionally shift the start time of the capsules to whatever you would like to see as the start time on your daily charts (in this case shifting by 6 hours from midnight = 6AM). Don't forget to click Execute!

Select the capsule offset by 1 from the end to get the capsule going from 6AM yesterday to 6AM the current day. Click save when complete and all charts will adjust to the configured date range. To configure auto-updates, check the auto-update box and set the rate to 1 day. 

Step 7.  Share your dashboard with your peers, either via presentation view or a PDF.

Hi.

I have created an organizer topic which I want to share as a PDF. However the created PDF has very low resolution and it is not pleasing to read. 

Do you have any solutions for increasing the resolution on the PDF?

Hello Theresa, 

There's no feature to directly increase resolution of a downloaded PDF from Seeq Organizer. 

However, you can adjust size of your content as necessary, add page-breaks, and adjust font sizes to re-format your report. Each piece of Seeq content should have the ability to change Content Size and Font Size in the edit modal (Scorecard Metrics will only have Font Size, though)

Hope you are able to clarify your PDF download using these tips!

Hello. 

 

Thank you for your reply.

I don't have access to the font size function. Is that a part of a newer seeq version?

Hello Theresa,

This feature was added in the R48.00 release.
