Function Templates (Template Editor)



General Description

Templates are for the reuse of saved dashboards. In addition to the individual creation of a template, the GridVis software features over 10 templates (in German and English) that the user can adapt to fit his own requirements as needed. The function Templates shortens the configuration time for energy and measurement data visualizations. The configuration of the dashboards for multiple measuring devices is made more efficient through the use of templates and the web visualizations appear to be "of one piece" (the same layouts).

Note

  • If one and the same layout should be reused to visualize different measuring devices (and measurement values), use the function Templates.

  • Because templates are dashboards saved for reuse, proceed in the creation of your template, as described in Function Dashboards .

  • Previously created dashboards can not be saved as a template! Before starting to create a dashboard or template, consider its use!
