TIP
Any change you make will be reflected immediately in the presented information on the Shift dashboard. For example, if you change the time range all information in the dashboard will change accordingly.
Setting the dashboard timespan
The shift selection menu (A) lets you choose between the current shift, last shift (the previous shift), yesterday's shifts (all shifts that started from midnight of yesterday until midnight of today), and using the custom shift option you can choose any day or shift from the last 7 days.
The information presented on the dashboard reflects the state of the production floor for the time indicated in the Last Update box (B). The system auto-refreshes the data every 5 minutes, but you can click the refresh icon to manually refresh the data immediately.
The time bar (D) lets you focus on a specific time span by sliding the hour stripe in any direction. The time bar is not displayed by default, you can change this setting in Dashboard Settings (C).
Filtering to focus on specific machines
To focus on specific machines, use the filter (don’t forget to click Apply). This will update the dashboard to present information about the selected machines only.
When there’s an active filter, the filter icon indicates this with a checkmark.
Quickly remove the filter by clicking the filter summary’s X control.
