Sync Energy and Asset dashboards

[emiliehoffe]

Hi there,

Energy and Asset dashboard views are not sync. Any re-arrange of devices done in "Asset View" is not reflected in "Energy View" and vice versa.

Please see picture below, and notice on the "Asset" view, the node "P1R1" was moved from Floor1 to Tower -C. But This node did not change on the Energy view.

Could you please explain how configuring to generate most relevant possible reports ?

Hi @emiliehoffe 

Thanks for contacting us.  I reproduced the behavior and I can confirm it works as expected. Both views allow you to create and manage your actual hierarchy. But the 2 views, in relation to the devices, reflect totally different ideas. I have added some notes and trust this clarifies the difference between the views. 

1. Asset view: Asset view shows equipment and devices and their location within your facility, for example, panelboards, boilers, monitoring devices, and more. This is "where do things live in the real world". Example: Sensor ABC lives in Panel Y which is in the Basement, in building 2F at Site X. It does not address the relationship between WHAT meters are measuring, and where they live
2. Energy view: The energy view shows energy consumption by usage type, for example HVAC, lighting, plug loads, and more. Use Energy view to see the energy used by different services and processes in your facility. This is "what do things measure in the real world". Example: Sensor ABC measures the lighting for Floor 7 in building 2F at Site X. The big distinction here is that logic is being applied to determine WHAT a sensor is measuring in the physical world, and has NO relation to where it lives.

Please let me know if further clarification is required. Thanks,
