Userinterface

Start page with user login

ResMa® always starts with a user authentication in order to have access to the system only by legitimate users. The users can be set up individually and have individual rights regarding the usable functions and the permitted data access.

Access to the user interface is via browser via the URL of the ResMa® server. the IP address or server name is set by the administrator during installation!

User interface

The user interface of ResMa® can be divided into three rough units. At the top is the title bar. The title bar consists of the navigation button and the current ResMa® name from the left. The navigation button releases the ResMa® main menu, which opens up all functions of the software (APP selection). Depending on the licensed packages, the offered function selection may differ.

The function selection is divided into the following areas:

• Monitoring

• Reporting

• Energy (if licensed)

• Production (if licensed)

• Configuration

Next to it is the selection of a global time range. On the right edge you will find the following buttons from left to right:

• Show/hide the tree display

• Opening the Help dialog

• Switching the language from German and English. This is individually expandable

• User Login

Below the title bar you will find the two other areas, Views and Content. The content section occupies most of the page. Content can include charts or reports. To the left of it is a switchable tree view.

On the far left is the navigation to select various analysis options and, if available, their submenus.

Structure Object Tree

All objects relevant to ResMa® (branch office, consumers, measuring points) are displayed in the object tree. The tree view also gives you choices as to which view you want to have of these objects.

The following views are selectable:

• Standard

This view shows locations (branches) and the processes depicted there with a suitable breakdown into consumers up to the actual measuring point. It thus maps the structure of the data created in ResMa®

• Connector

The connector view gives an overview with which data collectors ResMa®© is fed with data and the correspondingly assigned data points

• Ressources

Here you get an overview of the created media (e.B. electricity, gas, etc.) and can subdivide them further. It is later possible to display and save the resource flows via a Sankey diagram.

• Cost

View to map the cost center structure of the branches

Structure Content Page

A content page always opens a new tab in the content area and takes up the corresponding space. The arrangement of the tabs can be adjusted via drag & drop. The structure of such a site is always similar. At the top there is always a time selection in the form of a selection or a calendar. Below this is either a content-specific toolbar on the left or right. Below this comes the actual content, such as a chart.

Tabs in the workspace can be pinned to be immediately available again the next time the system starts. However, this can result in a significantly longer charging time!

Time selection

In the system there are two variants to establish a time reference for functions/APPs:

• Global time selection in the title bar

• APP-local time selection in the tab of the APP

For the APP, the local time selection basically applies, whereby profiles can refer to the time selection of the title page, which allows the same time reference for several windows.

Structure of a dialogue

Dialogs are always displayed in ResMa® if they are properties for an element (e.B. master data of a measuring point). This dialog has context-specific content. There is always dealert element in the upper part and below custom attributes, if configured. In the case of measuring points, there are still special elements (SAPNUM) under the user-defined attributes.

Function selection (APPs) and standardized functions

The APPs called up via the main menu generally open in the right-hand workspace. A function bar is displayed, which offers an APP-specific selection of functions. Some of these functions are available for every APP and will therefore be described in more detail here.

The vast majority of these APPs support the storage of PROFILES, i.e. saved settings for self-configured views. This means that once created views (e.g. a diagram of all important measured values of a heating system from the last month) can be selected again at any time. This function will also be described in more detail here.

Function bar (Toolbox)

Each APP has a function bar that offers app-specific functions in addition to generally available functions. All generally available functions are described here.

The functions shown below are APP-specific and are described in the chapter of the respective APP!

Saving Profiles

When profiles are stored, in addition to the name, their availability to other users is configured. This is to be shown here using the example of a diagram:

The name of the profile must be entered here.

A profile group can be optionally entered or selected from the existing ones to have an outline in the later profile selection.

A description is also optional.

Locality determines who can see and access the profile:

• Local: only the creator can access the profile

• Branch office: anyone associated with the selected branches can access the profile

• Global: Anyone can access the profile

The time range is the time range currently set for this view

When it comes to time, there are also three different options:

• Absolute: Every time the profile is called, exactly the currently set time range is used

• Relative: Each time the profile is called, the time range is adjusted accordingly (e.g. always “today”, “yesterday”, “last week”)

• Global: When calling the profile, the globally set time range is used

The marking on the profiles indicates whether it is a profile that can be used by all users (Global Availability = green) or a ‘private’.

Note

In order to be able to further edit a newly saved profile, the diagram should be closed and the new profile called up after saving.Otherwise, ResMa® assumes that another new profile will be saved.

Automatic export

If a profile is stored for an APP, you have various options to export this view or the associated data automatically and cyclically.

For this purpose, an automatic dispatch can be called for many APPs:

Here it is possible to send the view to different recipients. The type and time of export can be defined individually for each recipient.

Attention

For automatic export by e-mail to work, the e-mail settings under “System” must be configured correctly.

Create Direct Link

It is possible to create direct links for existing profiles. First, open the APP you want to create a direct link for.

Click direct link button. The dialog for link creation will open.

The profile selection dropdown will display the current profile by default. However, it is possible to switch between the app’s saved profiles.

The link area contains the direct link to the corresponding profile. By clicking on the Copy link button, the displayed link is copied to the clipboard and can thus be conveniently used to create a shortcut on the desktop or a favourite entry in the browser.

For security reasons, the direct links no longer contain any login information.

For this purpose, as is usual for web applications, the mechanism of the respective browser can be used to create a comfortable and fast login experience.

If you try to access the direct link without being logged in, ResMa will redirect the call via the login. The functionality of modern browsers can be used to autofill the credentials.
