SmartSignal Templates

You can enable y-axis ranges and view y-axis min and max values on SmartSignal charts in a view. You can also set the limits on the analytics tags based on the modes. These limits are used when a mode tag is visualized in analysis.

1. Navigate to an analysis view using one of the following methods:

   Method	Action
   Navigate from a SmartSignal Alert	In the module navigation menu, select Tools > Alerts. Select an Alert Inbox filter, such as Unclaimed or SmartSignal. Select an alert from the Alert Inbox. In the details page, select an Analysis View chart. Select to expand the Tag Panel.
   Navigate to a SmartSignal Ad Hoc Analysis	In the module navigation menu, select Essentials > Analysis. Use the Context Browser to select an asset context. Select Add Card, and then select SmartSignal Card. Enter a name for the card in the Name box, and then select Create. Select to expand the Tag Panel.

2. Use one of the following methods to enable chart limits or autoscaling:

   Method	Action
   Use Chart Limits	Select , and then select Use Chart Limits. If the tag that is plotted in the chart belongs to a mode, and the mode level Y-Min and Y-Max values are set, then the actual chart will scale using these values. If the mode level limits are not set, but the Y-Min and Y-Max are defined at the analytic tag level, then those settings are used to plot the chart. If none of the settings are set, then the charts will auto scale for that tag. If the analytic tag have the Y-Min and Y-Max values configured, the residual charts for each tag will always use these values. If the analytic tag does not have the limits configured, the residual chart will auto scale in this option.
   Use Auto Scaling	Select , and then select a date in the calendars, select a preset date range, or enter a date range. Select , and then select Use Auto Scaling.

   The Y-axes for the plotted charts change to match your selections.
3. Hover over a tag in the Plotted Tags section to view the Chart Y Max and Chart Y Min values.

You can enable point mode for SmartSignal cards, allowing the x-axis to display the number of data points selected instead of a date-time range.

This topic describes how to create an Event Frame Analysis template in the Analysis module. The Event Frame Analysis template can be used to visualize the analytics tag information related to event frames detected by the SmartSignal analytics that are deployed on an asset. This allows the visualization of the event frame data for the tags on an asset.

1. In the module navigation menu, select Essentials > Analysis.
2. Use the Context Browser to select the asset on which SmartSignal Analytics is deployed.
3. In the Template drop-down list box, select New Event Frame Analysis.
4. Select the events that you want to visualize.
   The events of the selected type appear in a carousel, along with the following information for each event:

   • Event Type Name
   • Event Start Date and Time
   • Event Duration

   Tip: You can filter the events based on their end date and time. Additionally, you can specify the number of events that you want to appear.
5. Select the layout in which you want the data to appear for the tags on the charts.

   Layout	Description
   Side by Side	The events will be plotted side by side on a single chart for each tag, with the events separated by a gray bar. You can select a maximum of 8 events per analysis. This is the default option for visualizing events.
   Overlay	The events will be grouped by event type and plotted in overlay mode in the chart, with the events separated by a gray bar.

6. In the carousel, select the events that you want to appear.
   A unique color is assigned to each selected event.

   Note:

   • The colors assigned to the events indicate the events and tags in the Side by Side and Overlay modes, respectively. When the tags are plotted on the charts, the charts will display all the series that are enabled for you, including the following series:
     • Actual
     • Estimate
     • Smoothed Actual
     • Smoothed Estimate
     • Residual
     • Smoothed Residual
   • The Event Frame Analysis template supports only SmartSignal cards. Therefore, you must not select the SmartSignal card.

   Tip: You can drag the tags or analytic modes to the chart and plot the tag data for the selected events.
7. Save the template as a private or public template for later use, or associate it with an Alert.

1. In the module navigation menu, select Tools > Alerts.
2. Select an alert that has been generated by a Smart Signal analytic.
3. Select the default analysis view to bring up the analysis view of all the tags that are contributing to the alert.
4. Select , and then select Switch to Event Frame Analysis.
   A new section appears, displaying the all the tags that were plotted on the default analysis view in the Event Frame Analysis view.
5. Select the events that you want to visualize.
   The events of the selected type appear in a carousel, along with the following information for each event:

   • Event Type Name
   • Event Start Date and Time
   • Event Duration

   Tip: You can filter the events based on their end date and time. Additionally, you can specify the number of events that you want to appear.

     • Residual
     • Smoothed Residual
   • The Event Frame Analysis template supports only SmartSignal cards. Therefore, you must not select the SmartSignal card.

8. Optional: Add the mode tags to the view to complete your analysis.

This topic describes how to compare smart signal analytic tags across multiple assets to understand if an issue impacts a single asset or multiple related assets. This feature is not available on GovCloud.

1. Select the default Analysis Template or an Analysis Template associated with the Alert that has been generated by a SmartSignal Analytic.
   All the tags that are associated with the Alert template appear in the Analysis view.
2. In the SmartSignal card, select to compare the plotted tags in the card with other assets.
   The Select Context window appears.
3. Next to each asset that you want to compare against the asset in context, select .
   Note: You can select up to 5 assets.
4. Select Open.
   A window appears asking if you want to compare similar tags for the selected assets on the plotted charts.
5. Select Yes.
   All similar tags from the selected assets are plotted on the chart along with the original tag.

Results

The actual value of the compared tag from the asset is plotted on the actual chart, and the compared residual from the asset is plotted on the residual plot. No markers are plotted on the charts from other assets. Each asset is allocated a random color, and all the tags from the asset has the same color. The tag register is updated to show the value of the tag, when you hover over the tag. The asset name appears for the compared assets in the tag register and not the actual or estimated values.

You can also invoke the compare asset functionality from an ad hoc analysis template after you have plotted SmartSignal tags on a card.

Note: You can also compare assets from the SmartSignal card and SmartSignal template, using on the SmartSignal card and the tag browser of the SmartSignal template.

You can add multiple assets to an analysis view for assets that have SmartSignal analytics deployed. You can also remove assets from the compare mode to allow you to focus on a smaller set of assets or to add new assets for comparison.

1. In the tag browser, hover over the asset that you want to delete.
2. Next to each asset that you want to delete, select .
   A window appears asking you to confirm if you want to remove the asset from the comparison.

   Note: The window contains a check box that enables you to delete all the tags from the assets that are plotted in the charts. It is recommended that you select the check box to clean up the template.
3. Select OK.
   The asset is removed from the tag browser. The charts are re-drawn with the tags from the remaining assets. You can temporarily mute the tags from an asset on the chart from the tag register.
