The initial widget on this page will showcase the following metrics:


  • Average Score: This metric represents the average performance score or rating for the conducted tests. 

  • Tested Devices: This metric indicates the total count of devices that have undergone testing.

  • Devices with Failures: This metric highlights the number of devices that exhibited failures or issues during testing.


It is important to note that these metrics are dynamic and will change based on the date selected on the calendar. The widget will adjust the displayed data to reflect the performance and testing outcomes for the date chosen, allowing you to track and analyze trends and variations over time.




Another widget with further information on tested device types, the number of executed tests, the percentage of successfully completed tests, and the average test duration will be presented on this page, see the screenshot below:




Building Score Widget


The Building Score widget will graphically display buildings where tests have been completed and failed. By clicking on the green or red color on the shown pillars, data will be customized on other widgets as per your selection.


Workflows Widget


The Workflows widget offers a graphical representation of the tested devices through pillars or columns. Hovering over these pillars, further details will be presented regarding the archived, failed, and completed tests, the average score, and the total number of executed tests.



Device Types Widget


The Device Types widget utilizes a pie chart to showcase the various tested device types. A total number of tested devices will be presented if you hover over them. Furthermore, by clicking on a particular device type, all widgets will dynamically personalize their content based on the selected device.





Average Score by Area Widget


The Average Score by Area widget will graphically display all failed, completed, and archived executed tests. This widget shows the specific area where the test was performed.

The Status widget provides a visual representation of the status of completed and failed tests through different colors. Hovering over the widget will reveal the exact number of completed and failed tests. If you click on one of the colors or segments, all other widgets will automatically update to provide data based on your selection. This dynamic feature allows you to focus on either the completed or failed tests and obtain related data through the other widgets, providing a more customized view of the testing results.



Sequence Success Scores Widget


The Sequence Success Scores widget provides a graphical representation of both passed and failed tests. These graphs allow you to visualize the outcome of tests related to specific commands such as "Close Damper", "Open Damper", "Stop Heating", "Stop Cooling", and "Start Cooling". An example is illustrated below:

All Tests Widget


The All Tests widget, presented in tabular format, shows further details of the building, area, device type, device name, the time the test started, ended, and its score.

Clicking on any row in the table will navigate you to the specific test’s details and its complete history. Within this page, you can easily browse through other tests by clicking on the "Next" button located on the right side.

The All Tests widget allows us to search for any specific test that we would like to see further details on. Based on the date we pick in the embedded calendar, the table will be updated and show us tests on the selected dates.
