Using created Analytics

Scaling Tables allows you to configure many analytics (Signals, Conditions or Scalars) at once. Now that you’ve created these items, let’s explore how you can use Workbench to make use of them.

Navigating in the Data Pane

After creation, the Scaling Table results will be navigable and searchable in the Data Pane. Access the navigation view by simply clicking into the table. Note that you can simultaneously navigate the Data Pane while having the editor open.

The first layer shown represents your “Search Items” column from your Scaling Table:

Once you’ve drilled into a particular “row”, you can trend any displayable items (Signals, Conditions, and Scalars) from that row:

Notice the extra columns now available in your Details Pane, including links to the Source Row and Source Table, which provide shortcuts to return to that pathway in the Data Tab, or open the Scaling Table editor, respectively.

Swapping

Just like Asset Groups and Asset Trees, you can “swap” between rows in your Scaling Table with the same icon.

Two key differences in this methodology are:

1. You can swap non-name matched items. In this new paradigm, we are swapping “rows” and subsequentially “cells” from your Scaling Table. As such, they do NOT need to match names, just positions in the table.

2. You can successfully “swap” empty cells. Legacy swapping methods require you to choose which asset to swap out, often resulting in a mismatch of Items in the Details Pane. Now, the swap will proceed but show a warning in the Details Pane and blank Lanes in the Trend, but allow you to continue swapping unhindered.

Scaling Visualizations

With your analytics configured and trended, you likely want to analyze the results across your fleet.

Tables & Charts

When the Items in your Details Pane are from a Scaling Table, you’ll see a new a new icon:

When selected, the calculations in your Details Pane will be scaled across all rows of your Scaling Table that also contain that analysis. This feature is compatible with both Simple Table and Condition Table.

Just like the rest of the trends and charts you can create in Workbench, these Tables & Charts are also capable of being inserted into an Organizer Topic Document or Dashboard.

Treemap

Treemap view is not yet supported with Scaling Table created analytics, but look forward to that capability soon!
