Administrators and users with Editor permission can design dashboards in IT Expert and set a default dashboard for the organization to get an instant overview of the most important information.
You can create location-specific dashboards and widgets that show graphs for sensors from monitored devices or key values based on a single sensor.

Create a dashboard
Log in to IT Expert as an Administrator.
Click New... in the upper right corner.
ITE_dashboard_1_360012327817.png
Name your dashboard and select a time span.
ITE_dashboard_2_360012327817.png
Click Create.
Now you're ready to add widgets to the empty dashboard.
Add widgets to the dashboard
You can add three different types of widgets to your dashboard: graphs; single values; or one of the default widgets, Map, Alarm count, Latest alarms or Critical alarm history.
Graph
If you want a visual overview of one or more sensors from your monitored devices, add a Graph to your dashboard.
This example shows battery time remaining for three different UPSs in a graph.
Click Add widget > Graph.
ITE_dashboard_add_graph_1_360012327817.png
Name your widget and go to Add value > Sensor to find the sensors.
ITE_dashboard_add_graph_2_360012327817.png
Select the sensors from the list you want to monitor. Use the search bar above the list or the filters to the left to narrow the selection.
Click Save.

Remember to Save the dashboard!
Single value
If you want to see key values based on single sensor values, you can add a Single value to your dashboard.
This example shows battery time remaining for three different UPSs as single values.
Click Add widget> Single value.
ITE_dashboard_add_single_value_1_360012327817.png
Name your widget and go to Add value > Sensor to find the sensor.
ITE_dashboard_add_single_value_2_360012327817.png
Select the first sensor you want to monitor and click Save.
ITE_dashboard_add_single_value_3_360012327817.png
Name the legend and click Add.
ITE_dashboard_add_single_value_4_360012327817.png
Repeat step 1 - 4 to add single value widgets for the remaining sensors.

When you add a graph widget or single value widget to an ITE dashboard, you can use math functions to add calculations.

Sensor
Adding a sensor shows the sensor values for the duration you select in a graph widget, or the latest sensor value in a single value widget.
Static value
Select static value to show a single value in a widget, or a horizontal line in a graph widget. You can also use a static value in a calculation as a constant.
Math functions
You can do calculations using Min, Max, Average and Sum in combination.
Max
Use the max function to show the largest value from a set of sensor data.
Add a single value to show the highest battery temperature
IT_Expert_dashboard_-_max_widget_example_360034105233.gif
Click Add widget > Single Value.
Name your widget and go to Add value > Max.
Select the temperature sensors you want to monitor and click Save.
Name the series and click Add.
Save the dashboard.
Min
Use the min function to show the smallest value from a set of sensor data.
Add a single value to show the lowest battery time remaining.
IT_Expert_dashboard_-_min_widget_example_360034105233.gif
Click Add widget > Single Value.
Name your widget and go to Add value > Min.
Select the sensors you want to monitor and click Save.
Name the series and click Add.
Save the dashboard.
Average
Use the average function to show the arithmetic mean of a set of sensor data.
Add a graph widget to show average battery temperature.
IT_Expert_dashboard_-_graph_widget_360034105233.gif
Click Add widget> Graph.
Name your widget and go to Add value > Average.
Select the sensors you want to monitor and click Save.
Name the series and click Add.
Save the dashboard.
The resulting graph shows the mean sensor value for a time interval. A time interval is defined by the shortest pull cycle for the selected sensors.
Sum
Use the sum function to add up all the values for each point in time.
Add a single value widget to show PUE
Calculate the efficiency of specific locations, rooms, etc.
IT_Expert_dashboard_-_single_value_widget_360034105233.gif
Click Add widget > Single value.
Name your widget and go to Add value > Sum.
Click Select sensors and search for the sensors representing the total facility power. Click Save.
Click Add calculation > Sum for the sum you added in step 3.
Use the menu to select Divide.
Click Select sensors and search for the sensors representing the IT equipment power. Click Save.
Name the value and click Add.
Save the dashboard.
