EmissionsHome

The EmissionsHome sample display is the main display page for the fictional steel company, AnySteel, inc. This display provides summary information, uses graphical animations to highlight critical information, and is the starting point for a number of other displays that work together to form a complete monitoring system. The data is retrieved from an SQL database. Refer to the following illustration and legend for more information.

 

 

Click here to access the EmissionHome sample display.

A grid that displays summary information: total target and actual amounts for the emission types.

If there are emission alerts, this indicator will flash. To look at the details of the alerts, click the indicator. A pop-up grid shows emission alert details. The pop-up grid is a Thumbnail object. The Thumbnail object does not have an image assigned to it, so that the flashing indicator can be seen `underneath' it. More

The flashing indicator is a shape object that is animated. The animation is set so that the indicator is green unless the emission alert count is above a specified number. The animation is also set to blink if it is red. More

The links open displays that provide additional detail and analysis. Refer to EmissionReport, EmissionByType, and XYTrending for more information.

The map is an inserted image. The circles that indicate locations on the map are animated shapes. These function in a similar way to the compliance indicator (#3), except that they do not blink, and each location uses the emission alert count that is specific to that location. More

Beside each location indicator is a link to a display that provides detail on that location's emissions. The links open the same EmissionByLocation display, but the detail returned is for the selected location only. See EmissionByLocation for more information.

The links on the bottom of the map launch the EmissionByLocation display where emission details are provided for the chosen site or for all sites. See EmissionByLocation for more information.
