Custom Parameters (Point Summary) Common Framework with Blockly

| Introduction

With Blockly, users can set up custom parameters point summary of parameters based on site needs, shifting from user to site-specific view. Moreover, Blockly would provide a visual interface where users can drag and drop blocks to construct formulas without the need for any coding knowledge. Point summary with Blockly enabled, help users to build formulas on top of the loop conditions such as calculating the delta between sensor points and setpoints, calculating chiller tonnage, etc. Some advantages include:

1. Consistent Design Patterns
Improved User Engagement: A consistent design pattern enhances user engagement, encouraging users to easily build, use, update, and share the framework.
Reduced Development Time: Reusing design components cuts design overhead, leading to quicker development cycles and cost savings.

2. Consistent Workflow
Increased Efficiency: A consistent workflow ensures users intuitively navigate, build, update, view, and share work, reducing the learning curve and enhancing efficiency.
Lower Support Cost: Clear workflow minimizes user confusion, reducing support inquiries and saving on support and training costs.

3. Consistent Builder
Faster Building Process: A consistent builder enables rapid work creation, speeding up the overall process.
Faster Development Process: Developers integrate features more quickly with a consistent builder, accelerating development time.

4. Consistent Sharing Mechanism
Increased User Engagement: Standardized sharing encourages frequent sharing, boosting user engagement.

5. User Selection Enhancement
Ownership and Personalization: Allowing users to vote and influence work selection fosters a sense of ownership and personalization, increasing engagement in the platform and encouraging ongoing creation.

The Point Summary with Blockly feature gives users scope to create and share custom point parameters easily. It includes options like liking, bookmarking, adding descriptions, and arranging items on the table.

There are three main options in the selection pool:

• Predefined: These are options already made by the system and available for all users on the platform.
• Created by me: This section includes items the user has created, whether they're for the user or shared with others.
• Shared by others: This part shows items that other users have shared.

| Features

Like & Bookmark Capability: Users will have the capability to like the work that is shared by others and bookmark the items for their personal preference.

• Login to the Internal Portal

• Select the Point Summary option under the zone-level widgets page.

• Click Add Point Summary to display the Point Summary table.

• Users can like and bookmark heatmap filters created by themselves and shared by others.

 

Consistent Sharing Framework: Creators will have the option to share their work within a consistent sharing framework.

 

Support Portal: The user will have the option to share the work with internal support users and Airoverse for Facilities users.

Adding & Viewing Description: The creator will have to add descriptions (Why/What) which are typically expected to use the why and what framework. If users are sharing their work, then other users can view the description to understand why and what part of the creation and they will help them to select the work in the view.

View Arrangement: Users will be able to customize their views to meet the dynamic requirements of the site, enabling them to create personalized views based on their preferences.

| Creating a Point Summary with Calculated Parameters

From the Internal Portal,

• Select Point Summary

• Click Add Point Summary

• Select the required tags and fill in the particulars.

 

• Select Add Calculated Parameters to add calculated parameters to the table.

The blockly sequence is displayed by clicking the calculator icon.

• Edit the name for the Point Summary
• Use the blockly blocks to compute and display the calculated parameters, as below

• Click Save to save and confirm the calculation blocks built.
• Click Back to Parameters to go back to the parameters addition screen.

The parameters addition screen displays

• Click Create New Point Summary to confirm the table created.

The created point summary with calculated parameter displays as below in the site overview screen, when ebabled for display.

| Duplicating a Point Summary

A point summary can be duplicated from the list of point summaries. This applies to both alerts created by a user and shared by others.

• Click on an existing point summary to view it from the point summary list.

The existing point summary is displayed.

• Click on Duplicate Point Summary to create a new custom point summary with the same parameters and summary rule.

The point summary is duplicated which can be further edited to create an entirely new custom point summary.

| Editing a Point Summary

• Click on Edit an existing point summary from the table

The edit message is displayed.

• Click continue to edit the point summary

The point summary can be further edited.

The point summary can also be further created as a new point summary.

| Deleting a Point Summary

• Click on an existing point summary from the table

• Click on the Delete button to delete a point summary.
