Which page answers which question
The Dashboard is a daily snapshot. Consumption Breakdown shows energy over a period you choose. Technical Analysis is the one that gives you a custom period down to the minute, including demand in kilovolt-amperes (kVA) and the timestamp of each peak. Most "the platform will not do X" questions are answered by moving to the right page.
The map
| You want to know | Go to |
|---|---|
| What happened today, at a glance | Dashboard |
| Energy used over a period I choose, split by point | Consumption Breakdown |
| Demand, current, voltage, power factor over a custom period to the minute, and when the peak happened | Technical Analysis |
| What it cost, and at what rates | Cost Breakdown |
| Does the utility bill agree with what we measured | Bill Verification |
| Power factor at peak, and demand performance | Power Factor & Demand |
| Usage split into peak, standard and off-peak | Time of Use |
| Would a different tariff be cheaper | Tariff Comparison |
| What the month cost on the applied tariff, as a standalone total | Tariff Analysis |
| Split one account's cost across departments, tenants or cost centres | Cost Allocation |
| Build a chart over a longer horizon | Charting |
| Get the raw numbers out | Data Download |
| Be told when something crosses a threshold | Triggers & Notifications |
The two that get confused
Dashboard. Intended as a snapshot of daily data. It does not behave as a variable-period analysis tool, and selecting a week or a month on it will not give you what you expect. This is by design, not a fault.
Technical Analysis. Custom periods to the minute. Click the statistics option to see the timestamp of the peaks. This is the page to use whenever the question involves demand, a specific window, or when exactly something happened.
Consumption Breakdown sits between them: it honours a date range, but it reports energy, not demand, so kVA values are not on it.
Good to know
- Technical Analysis carries most of the same charts as Charting, so if Charting is not giving you what you want, try Technical Analysis.
- Technical Analysis does not refresh by itself. If you want a live shop-floor display, see Downloading your data for the workaround.
- Some pages are optional features on an account. If a page in the table above is
not in your menu, ask
support@augos.iowhether it is enabled for your site.
