Objectives

In this Exercise using Monitor you will learn how to :

• Add a value card to your asset dashboard for the new calculated metrics temperature_deviation and ambient_temp_over_max_status

Now that you know when the Packaging Hopper asset is a above the ambient_temp_over_max You can display the status value of the new calculated metric named ambient_temp_over_max_status in a value card in the asset dashboard. By also adding temperature_deviation in a value card to the asset dashboard, the Remote operational support will know by how much each Hooper is operating outside the required operating ranges.

Create Value Card

Value cards allows you to display a metric or multiple metrics in a card. It is a good way to show the status of an asset. You are also able to set alert thresholds within the JSON to have different icons appear on the card to indicate a normal or irregular status.

1. In Monitor, select Monitor tab,
   

2. Open your Asset Dashboard. Search Device types for Sample_Packaging_Hopper_Type_yourinitials. Click on your Device Type, Click on asset 730001 and Asset Metrics Dashboard which is an built in dashboard Monitor created for your asset metrics.
   

3. Edit the asset dashboard that you will add the Value card to. Click on gear icon. Select Edit Dashboard and click Continue button.
   

4. Click on value card for temperature_deviation.
   

5. Enter the values below for the Value card.
   

6. Scroll up and click the Save button
   

7. Scroll down on the Asset Metrics Dashboard to see the new value Card.  

8. You can further customize cards by editing their settings. Edit the dashboard again. Click on Value Card for Deviation. Click on Settings Change the font size to a smaller font.
   

9. Add another Value card for the ambient_temp_over_max_status, Scroll down and click on Add Card button and repeat the step 4 above.
   

Save your changes to the dashboard.

1. You can also edit dashboard cards directly by modifying the JSON. Click on your value card. Click on Edit Json
   

Some other important notes about the JSON: - The id at the very top needs to be a unique name for this card. Use dashes instead of spaces. - The size is self explanatory. This size is SMALLWIDE - The type is the type of card such as VALUE, TIMESERIES, or IMAGE. - unit is the unit of measurement belonging to your data item. - precision refers to the number of decimal points to be seen.
